Zero accessibility =/

As great as it may be, this isn't something I'd pick as it'd be unusable in this cases.

You should see Windows (10, 11) or Android. Gray on gray, no scrollbars, messages using half of screen, buttons you didn't asked for ( why do i need a microfone icon when the app has no microfone permission ? )

Untrue. One of the changes mentioned is 1.4 supports scaling the interface with ctrl/+/-/0 (like in your browser). This is a huge accessibility win, the more so because it is now enabled by default for every FLTK program, actually putting it ahead of other toolkits.

Maybe you're thinking of screen-reader support for the blind though.

Judging by a sibling comment to yours... it seems a lot of people don't think of supporting blind users.

(I'm not blind, at least yet, but it is a pretty sad state of affairs.)
