Hello,

That specific issue is fixed with:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/guix-cuirass.git/commit/?id=d9a4ea25e4056f71b12d7d8869510793bab41674.

I'm sure there are possibly other accessibility issues, don't hesitate
to report them too.

Thanks,

Mathieu

This is one of the most basic accessibility principles, I think Cuirass
should adhere to it.
Specifically on pages like this:
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/251721/details
the weather field is just a colored circle.
There is no reason to hide the text behind a hover action, especially
since not all input devices support that.
Also, not all output devices support color. And obviously, colorblind
people exist too.
