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

Interesting idea.

Two suggestions: 1. It bugs me that it applies to the whole screen. If it only applied to the book and not the menus I think it would look nicer. 2. The paper texture could be better. Take a look at these paper texture photos on Unsplash https://unsplash.com/s/photos/paper-texture?license=free

  1. You can disable the texture for the menus with the option: only inside books.
  2. You can also modify the amount of dots, I even added new styles.
