Mono is a cross-platform implementation of the .NET Framework, including GNOME and Mac support, as well as Windows. My understanding is that a C# program that uses the System.Windows.Forms classes for a GUI will be accessible with Orca on Linux and VoiceOver on the Mac when run under Mono. The same program will not be accessible under Mono for Windows, but will be accessible under the .NET Framework for Windows. That is because these GUI environments use native controls of the platform, which implement its primary accessibility API.

Does Mono even ahve a screen reader? Correct me if I'm wrong but, that's a desktop, right? I thought Gnome was the only linux/unix desktop that was accessible. Heard all sorts of promising things about KDE but nothing definitive. Same thing can be said about XFCE, uses similar libraries to Gnome so might be made accessible using Orca at some point. Isn't Mono just another one? Tyler: Will you be writing this in c# then? Reference to Mono reminds me of a post I read here once that it will run the clr platform making apps written in vb and c# potentially multiplatform. Thanks.

I just wanted something cleaner and more stable, if possible.

As I was saying, I went and started a separate project that will include all of the features from edsharp that I have came to use daily, as well as having a cleaner design, and being easy for people to add to if they so chose. If anyone would be interested in working with me to add features, the help would be appreciated.

I went to check on the code, and found more static methods and variables as well as a huge few thousand lines of code crammed in to one big file, with little to no documentation and blocks commented out here and there.
