Full-width design is hard to read #140

First, thanks for this useful extension!

I find the style quite hard to read, though:

setting the main container to 100% width makes it hard to read long comments
the large amount of vertical space between comments makes it harder to keep track of the nesting
your choice of fonts doesn't look very nice on my system

Would you consider making the style tweaks optional? I see you have an options page on your To-Do list already.

The width of individual comments is actually the same as regular HN. I agree they shouldn't be 100% width, please show a screenshot if that is the case.

There is a large amount of space between comments! That's a thing I hadn't really noticed but I see what you mean. I'll mark this as a bug so that can be fixed.

I'll also look into changing the fonts back to defaults. Let me know in a screenshot how bad it looks for you and that'll move that request along faster if it's truly awful.

Sorry, not going to change the full width but the spacing between comments and fonts have been changed.

Sure, thanks for the fixes :)
