This ensures that contrast between text color and background meets the WCAG 2.0 AA recommended value. The following locations were changed:
- Network List Tables: Use lighter background colors for site status indicator.
- Nav Menus: Use a lighter background color for invalid menu items.
- Pointers: Use a darker background for pointer header.
- Themes: Use darker background on filter button hover.
- Customizer: Use darker background for selected widget.

This is part of a larger project in cleaning up core's admin CSS. This collapses all colors used in the CSS to one of 12 blues, greens, reds, and yellows, 13 grays, pure black, and pure white. The colors are perceptually uniform from light to dark, half of each range has a 4.5 or higher contrast against white, the other half has a 4.5 or higher contrast against black.
Standardizing on this set of colors will help contributors make consistent, accessible design decisions. The full color palette can be seen here: https://codepen.io/ryelle/full/WNGVEjw

- Prevent accidental/unintended dragging. Seen it happen mostly on laptops when using the mousepad/trackpad.
- Improve discoverability and usefulness by always showing the "drop zones" outline when postboxes are draggable/arrangeable.
- Add some (brief) explanation to the Screen Options tab helping the user understand what options are available and how to change them. This is especially helpful for screen reader users to give an idea how to use the screen options and what to expect.
- Fix/enhance some of the code in `postbox.js` and make it coding standards compliant.

So far, it has been possible to rearrange into a new order the post boxes (also known as "widgets" on the Dashboard and "meta boxes" on the Edit post page) only by using a pointing device, for example a mouse.
This change adds new controls and functionality to allow the boxes to be rearranged also with the keyboard. Additionally, audible messages are sent to the admin ARIA live region to notify screen reader users of the reorder action result.

For a number of years, WordPress has been using a `#00a0d2` blue shade for the links `:hover` state. This blue shade doesn't have a sufficient color contrast with the various (too many) background colors used in the admin interface.

Visible `<label>` elements benefit all users. The `placeholder` attribute should not be used as a replacement for visible labels.
Instead, it's supposed to be used only for a short hint to aid users with data entry e.g. a sample value or a brief description of the expected format.
Screen readers may not announce a `placeholder` attribute at all. Other users may suffer from the lack of a visible label and a placeholder used as replacement, for example:
- users with cognitive disabilities may have trouble remembering what the filled field does
- speech recognition users cannot see the name they can speak to set focus on the field
- low-vision users with high text-size may not be able to see the whole placeholder even when it's visible, if its value is clipped by the edge of the input

Depending on the amount of meta boxes and the layout settings under Screen Options, sortable meta boxes may not be actually sortable.
In these cases, jQuery UI sortable needs to be disabled and the user interface shouldn't use a CSS `cursor: move`.
The use of consistent and relevant cursors may be important for users who have a cognitive disability, since cursors give a visual clue as to an element's functionality. Using the move cursor for elements which cannot be moved may be confusing or counter-intuitive for users.
