When the default is true

TEXT SIZE MANIPULATION APPROACHES:

If text increase / decrease isn't working for your size your probablly not using responsive font size units (sutch as em, rem etc.).
In that case you can initialize the accessibility tool like this:
new Accessibility({textPixelMode: true})

ANIMATIONS:

Cancel all buttons animations:
new Accessibility({animations: {buttons: false}})

POSITIONING:

You can position the accessibility icon in any place on the screen. The default position is bottom right:
var options = {
    icon: {
        position: {
            bottom: { size: 50, units: 'px' },
            right: { size: 0, units: 'px' },
            type: 'fixed'
        }
    }
}
new Accessibility(options);
But you can also position the icon in the upper left corner of the screen and cancel the fixed positioning:
var options = {
    icon: {
        position: {
            top: { size: 2, units: 'vh' },
            left: { size: 2, units: '%' },
            type: 'absolute'
        }
    }
}
new Accessibility(options);
