Extension summary
Small text on a screen of device takes less pixels than larger text, causing loss of clarity and definition of text. If this small text is enlarged, the page and website becomes easily readable (especially for far-sight condition of eyes). This extension enlarges text and makes text colors a contrasting black / white color and a few subroutines. Text contrast can be increased by the 'Strength' slider, with high positive values making text more black / white and negative values keeping text color unchanged. The strength slider also determines the Zoom %, with default zero strength giving 175% (1.75) zoom value. The text size is increased inversely depending on its size. This means small sized text is made much bigger than larger text, which is slightly increased in size. All text within size of Threshold setting is increased in size with text closer to Font Threshold size increasing less than text much lower size than Threshold, depending of Font Increase % setting. Text size of ANY TEXT IS NOT DECREASED (unless '--g_smaller_text' is enabled) to less than its normal size. Smaller text becomes as large as (or larger than) text of Threshold size. Text near the Threshold size is unchanged or changed very slightly.
NEW CHANGES
Setting '--g_avoid_negative' to "nowait" in custom / global CSS will avoid the 'negative' colors flash due to a wait condition in reverse colors. However, to completely avoid negative colors, g_avoid_negative must be set to 1 / true. Reverse colors will now have short flash of "negative" colors (which might be avoided by enabling '--g_avoid_negative') and become normal in end (of processing). If size (area) of background images of BODY tag is greater than 100 times '--g_min_image_size', their colors are preserved in reverse colors. '--g_smaller_text' now does normal scaling of font sizes, instead of inverse increase. Text sizes will appear similar to original text. The amount of smallness of text sizes is adjustable by "Increase font %". Style sheet processing for colors is skipped if 'Dark mode' is set. Bugfix for images with 'PICTURE' tag not displayed in reverse colors on some sites. Stop the mutation observer when applying settings. Mark as done the parent nodes of new mutation nodes.
