Formating #25

Hi, don't normally use git hub much so I hope I'm not abusing the purpose posting here.

I like the, simple, clean, visually appealing reader you've created. Thank you. I know you plan on creating formating controls like variable font options.

I wanted to suggest, as it seems to be an oversight in many other desktop based readers, variable margins. So that at full screen/maximised you don't have to scan the full screen width each line.

I'm sure you've already considered it.

I thought if I made changes to the CSS file it would effect the changes i'd like for me but when i alter it nothing seems to happen.

My suggestion would be to stretch the window as far as you are comfortable reading one line instead of using full-screen. Considering your request I will probably do it. (Project is somewhat on hold for next two/three more weeks due to my exams but after that.)

You need to edit CSS at /usr/share/easy-ebook-viewer/css/*.css after installation.

Thanks for the reply Michal!

Yeah I know I can alter the window size. I have a personal preference for large font size and distraction free viewing in fullscreen. I completely understand that may be a use case of very limited popularity. I wouldn't expect you to cater to it.

In any case thanks for the CSS info. As long as I can change the CSS I should be able to do view it as I please. ☺️

Best of luck with your exams.
