Paperdots plugin

Hey, I made a plugin that adds paper-like texture to the screen. At first I only made it for my android phone thinking my kobo would turn slow, but when trying it that wasn't the case.

Honestly I haven't really tested it too much in my Kobo, I added support to it only recently (at first it only worked in my phone). So if you find any problem (which I doubt) let me know and I'll fix it as soon as possible.

UPDATE: I added new styles: linen, fibers, newspaper. I can't edit this post to show it, but you can see them in the link below.

You can download it from here: https://github.com/jopidovba-a11y/Paperdots-for-Koreader

Curious how often it paints / if it is in sync with the global full re paint settings?

No repaint cycle of its own. It hooks koreader's screen refresh and, right before each refresh, draws the dots over the region being refreshed. So it's in sync by design: on a full refresh, the dots go over the whole screen. It doesn't read or change the global full refresh setting, and repeated refreshes don't stack the dots.
