1 as someone with somewhat compromised vision but zero JS (is it JS?) knowledge, I'd like to be able to make the headings smaller, and the body text larger. (If there's a tutorial on how to edit the CSS or whatever , I'd be game to tackle that.

2 I'd find it very useful to be able to put some sort of user-defined background to indicate event duration. [murder mysteries or heist stories]

Something like faint (30% gray?) dashed vertical lines, (like the horizontal ones that sometimes indicate y-axis units on a bar graph). The scale of these lines doesn't even need to be labelled or user-defined; users could consider them hours, days, weeks, years, decades (whatever time scale their timeline requires).

(And I apologize if Plottr has a background grid; I didn't have as much time to play around with it as much as I planned.)

3 okay, and finally: I know this isn't Gantt software, but the ability to put in simple dependencies would be fantastic. (Yes they can be edited manually I guess, but I'm looking for something a little more, well, automated.)

I looked at quite a few timeline programs over the past week, and found that there's a big empty space between the project management Gantt charts at one extreme, and the timeline software aimed at writers and educators on the other. I have a value memory of a plotting tool in XYWriter, but

Gantts have dependencies and user-defined durations ( which is especially useful when plotting something like a murder mystery or a heist :p), but PM software has a STEEP learning curve, and the scale is generally inflexible.

Plottr is very visually appealing, but—and as someone with nearly 40 years in the software development industry, I have tio speak plainly—fo me, in terms of timeline it doesn't offer much more than I can do in a spreadsheet.
