Hi Mikodo,
thank you for your messages on this topic. Accessibility is something we need
to work on for Unity8. We have plenty to do, from the visual assistance
features you've mentioned, to proper keyboard navigation and text-to-speech
support. We have a solid list of TODOs (we had a meeting on this topic only
this week), we just need to get to work.
I've been doing desktops since the Unity2d days, which had reasonably
good accessibility support. We intend to make Unity8 even better.
The unfortunate reality is that features like convergence do tend to get
more business focus than important usability features. It is messages
like yours that give us not only the motivation but also persuasive
arguments and evidence ("users are asking for this") to give more
resources to this topic.
Thanks for commenting here. We'll be in touch when we've features ready for
testing.

Bug description:
I would like to see a feature that allowed Unity8, to easily inverse
the desktop colors. To be able to easily turn on and off a negative
(inverse) display of the desktop. For now, it can be done with X
(xcalib). It would be nice to see Unity8 do this natively, instead of
Ubuntu users needing this feature hoping, X-11 support will always be
available.
This is a feature I use, due to impaired eye-sight.
