That's why I called it bloat. IMHO, we really need to keep the unnecessary features limited.

It's still bloat. For those who do not, it's not needed. I'd rather not have Kobalt become too large considering it runs within Nickel.

How granular is the line height setting? With the patches, I have the line height have some settings less then 1. So I'm hoping Kobalt is granular enough to have a number of setting below 1.

Yes, it does. I also use line-height less than 1 in Nickel and I was able to set more or less the same height in Kobalt.

Is it possible to add integration with nickel-screensaver? I feel like that would be a great addition for people using it, especially since it mirrors the screensaver-over-text function that KOReader does. Other than that, I love it! It's a crap ton better than the default KoboOS, and the amount of customization and the speed is 100 percent an upgrade. Thank you so much for this!
