I want the reading experience in DT to be pleasant to my eyes. I have it set to dark mode. But there are problems with the set up. Probably, I do not know where the controls are. In general, the screens are so pleasant that I wish I had a small computer so I could read in bed. But here are some small problems.
-
Full screen mode arranges the text across the screen, but it is too long. I can’t adjust the screen size to change that. The green text is ok. I wish I could arrange that screen in columns. Being able to read across columns on a big page is relaxing. It promotes thinking.
-
All screen formats are sprinkled with underlined text. If I click on them, another often arbitrary text comes up. I wish I did not have those possible tag notices. I am trying to read. I wish I could get rid of the distraction on the screen.
I have a feeling that texts which are poorly formatted are poorly formatted to begin with.
I am chunking big reference books and aiming at rft texts so I can have paragraphs even without text formating such bold and italics. I like the dark screen but cannot have it with pdf files. Beautifully formatted books do not have the formatting problem. This is text that I copied from Obsidian.
This is text that I typed in DT.
I wish the pasted text look like my typed text.
I am chunking chapters of thick books (pdfs) so that I can go to the chapter directly. Fumbling through long texts looking for the exact place is difficult because the context of the word that I am looking for is in a tiny window to the right column. In PDF expert, that column is much bigger and easier to use. I am looking at an encyclopedia-type book, so I know where to look, but out of hundreds and even thousands of chapters, scrolling is cumbersome. To avoid looking at white screens, I am transforming the pdf chunks into the RFT chunks. In the PDF chunks, I can see special formatting, charts, and photos.
