Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately I have no clue how to go at it. Would it be something doable in the future?
Thanks

As you can see - pretty bad - not least because there's no way to affect the footer without also affecting the header.

You could just read with Dark Mode switched on. That would make it hard to see any uneven lighting.
Main problem is that that suggestion seems to leave the corners white, which is where I notice most of the unevenness :/

About reading in full dark mode, when I did it, specially in bed with all lights off, the white flash for the screen refresh almost left me blind

It has crossed my mind x)
