Sure I'm making a suggestion of a new feature, and I'm not a programmer, so yes
god knows when / if it'll ever be implemented. I imagine this will mainly
depends on the demand for this and capacity to implement. It is just an idea
and I marked it as an enhancement.

Humm ok, sure I can describe it with more words on here but it felt clearer and
more comprehensive to demonstrate it via pointing to where it is already
implemented (in Firefox). But you're right I should have laid out the key
changes:

I think Writer would benefit from a Reader view for people who are actually
reading and reviewing documents in Writer (for example academics who read and
review lots of papers). When toggling this view it would activate:

1. A darker background, less straining to the eye than the default white (say a
pale yellow
2. Scaling of font size 
3. Change in font colour that contrast with background in a non aggressive way
(e.g. brown)
Users could choose the colour scheme and font scaling of their reader view.

Ideally you could toggle this view on and off easily with a button in the same
way you toggle say track changes.

Happy to but I have read this bug report fully and it is just a different
feature request, albeit also related to another view mode (a distraction free /
text editor type view mode which feels quite different).

> So, either you do as advised or wait for someone to confirm or discuss.
