What are your overrides? Thanks!

I use a window a bit bigger than a typical fiction paperback and a bit wider aspect ratio. I like a good bit of whitespace in the margin to help me concentrate. I don't want the text to feel crampt or my reading scanline to enter another window. After making the changes I zoom in (ctrl-mousewheel) until the text is roughly 20pt on a 34" screen (depends on the screen). The viewer might need to be restarted to sort out the layout changes.

This is what I have in my notes for the settings. Just a result of iterative poking until I like it so the css is uh... not fit for a code review :)

# Font

   Baskerville (google fonts) I think I might use Merriweather on some OS because they render differently, I can't recall offhand).
 
# Colours

    custom scheme:

    foreground: #2f2f2f

    background: #fcfcfc
# Page Layout > Padding

    100, 100

    75, 75
# Misc

  - remember window last position
# Headers and footers

  - progress bottom right
# Style > css

   p 
   { 
     line-height: 1.5em !important;
     font-size: 0.854em !important;
     padding-bottom: 25px; 
     text-indent: 35.868px !important;
   }
   
   div 
   { 
     line-height:1.5em; 
     padding-top: 1em; 
   }
   
   line-height: 1.5em;
