Change background color outside of text's body

[abg88]

I wish I could get the background outside the text's body in black, so I don't have too many white on my eyes. Is it possible?

(did anyone understand my request? english isn't my first language)

This should be possible via the graphical editor (clicking the paint brush icon) with the "backgroundColor" value. Simply click the value and then use the color picker to choose one that you like.

You can also use CSS to do this via the Options page, such as html { background-color: black; }.

There are also some dark themes that other users provided that you can check out.

That's not it. Instead of having all screen white, I want to have only the body of the text in white (and the text in black). Outside of the body of the text, I want to make it black.

I'm sending a picture of how I use iReader. I want to do the same in Just Read.

Oh, and is it possible to change the font?

Awesome extension, btw.

Oh, yes. Simply apply it to the body in the CSS instead:

html { background-color: black; }
body { background-color: white; }

Be careful that you color the icons a way where you can still see them though! Their default black will not be visible on a screen like that.

As for changing the font, you can change that in the CSS as well. You can load your own fonts from Google or use the default. Just make sure to change them in the body or wherever else font-family is declared in the CSS.

How do I do that? I don't have any knowledge about CSS.

Copy the two lines in the post above, right click the Just Read button and click Options, select the theme you're using in the left panel, paste the two lines at the bottom of that file, then save it.

I'm finally using Just Read as I want it. I took this style sheet (https://gist.github.com/kimu/09cac61f9ce54468dbcf55f2b177f108) and adapted it to my use. I think that this style sheet is more "readable" to me.

Thanks!
