Summary
This extension is helpful for people who require reading glasses / spectacles due to far-sight / hyperopia / presbyopia or age-related far sight condition of eyes and, to some extent, colorblindness.
The text size is increased inversely with 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 to less than its normal size. Smaller text becomes as large as (or larger than) text of Threshold size.
NEW CHANGES
When "Force max opacity" is enabled, semi-transparent text can now be hue corrected. Background color gradients are displayed as original in reverse colors with hue correction. Keep text color same as original for short text with colorful backgrounds in reverse colors hue correction, which is enabled by setting --g_keep_colors to true or 1 (one). New option 'Process black text', which is false by default, that allows processing black text when enabled or skip black colored text if disabled. Bugfix for not saving settings on All Settings page. Remove a totally wrong background color calculation, and a hardcoded value 230 in comparing brightness of text with Strength slider at zero. Now it has the variable --g_bg_threshold_new_default, which has value of 230 unless changed in Custom / Global CSS rule. Speedup processing by skipping elements without text. Settings page is now a full page containing 3 columns about settings, variables and import/export of settings to/from files. New variable "--g_svg_bg_white" which set to true, will make background of SVG images white in reverse colors.
