Add-on 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, makes text colors a contrasting black / white color and a few subroutines. Font size within threshold is enlarged inversely with font size. That means small text made bigger than large text. 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 (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.

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 can be avoided by enabling '--g_avoid_negative') and become normal in end. BODY element background now takes gradients in reverse colors. 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. If '--g_smaller_text' is enabled, the text sizes are decreased in 'normal' way, with the amount of decrease adjustable by 'Increase font %' slider. 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. If content is 'appended' to page after it loads, the page settings will now also apply to the new content. Bugfix for background color not updating when brightness / contrast is changed in dark mode / reverse colors. In 'Start 3 letters bold', the variable '--g_start3_caps' can now be set to line / paragraph mode, in which starting LETTER of line / paragraph is changed to different style which is specified in the variable value.
