Welcome screen - Unlabeled icons and images

Completed

Using VoiceOver on Mac OS X 10.14.4, I opened beta v.29 from the Applications folder for the first time. Two windows opened: the foreground was a search field an empty table (Navigator) and—only because I went searching—did I find another window behind it. This (unnamed) window needs to be in the foreground for screen-reader users to find it.

In that window (with the colorful background):

• The window needs a title. Right now it's "- blank -"
• Every time I Command+Tab away from the window, the Navigator comes to the foreground and I have to switch back to the other window with VO+F2 twice. This is inconvenient. The welcome window should stay in the foreground.
• The "dots" across the top all read as "index.html"
• The image in the center has no alternative text, so VoiceOver reads the filename.
• Previous and next buttons are read as less-than and greater-than signs
• I also found a "next" button that seemed to do the same thing as the greater-than button. This seems redundant.
• Screenshots do not have alternative text, so VoiceOver reads the filenames.
• On the final screen, I still encounter a "next" button (though it's dimmed) even though it's not on-screen.

  Great feedback, I'll fix the welcome screen up.

  Ok, for the next update I have:

  • titled the dots
  • added alt tags to every image
  • set the final screen "next" button to display:none, which I believe prevents screen readers from including it. I might be wrong there.
  • titled the window

  I still need to look into keeping the window foreground, and I have to make some decisions about the redundant navigation. That may or may not change.

  I'll just note here that on 1.0.33, the navigator keeps popping up everytime I bring up the window, even while on the welcome screen — I kept reading about nvUltra and looking at Zendesk while I started with the app (basically clicked to browser after every welcome slide) and the navigator kept popping up.
