Bias:
I don't have the best vision, so I intentionally have to increase the size of my screen to about 120-130% to be able to adequately read without being uncomfortably close.
The pros of this for me: Able to read and recline in my chair.
The cons of this for me: All photos/signatures/avatars and basically everything else about the site that doesn't need to be enlarged, is. Because of this, the quality reduces.

Silver lining:
"d2jsp Default Blue - Big Font" color scheme setting solves this issue.
Signatures, screenshots, avatars, and any image in between is kept at it's original format, while making it easier to read the meat.

Suggestion:
Why not make this option more broad, passive, and standalone?
The reason I suggest this is due to the fact that a larger text size is limited only to the d2jsp default skin, which utilizes white backgrounds, making it difficult to stare at for extended periods of time.
Because of this, I resort to the darker color schemes such as "[Gray/Blue] - theangeloffury" used in my profile.

Solution:
Example solution: Settings -> Account Settings -> Text size -> Increase/Decrease "-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0 , 1, 2, 3, 4, 5" (dropdown box will be here)
If this method isn't viable, then perhaps a secondary color scheme for each existing set similar to the "d2jsp Default Blue - Big Font"
Example solution: "[Gray/Blue] - theangeloffury - Big Font"

Epilogue:
I know I can reduce the brightness to my screen directly, but I'd rather not do that to simply accommodate for my d2jsp usage.
I've tried juggling this before, and it's not worth the constant hassle.
To add to the cons of having a bright white screen (d2jsp default blue), I'm normally in a room where my other half is attempting to sleep.


Thanks for reading! Let me know what you think

Nah, big font display is fine and if you want darker colors and reducing screen brightness is a hassle, simply go to your phone settings, accessibility, invert colors. Now you’ll have dark screen throughout everything you view on your phone while your 2nd sleeps (without messing up images). During the day you can easily swap it back in 1 sec without having to change display settings on various sites/apps etc.

This is mainly for desktop use, but I understand where you're coming from

You can just as easily invert colors just as quickly on desktop. Lmk if you need a guide.

Thank you for the response! I appreciate the information, but I feel the change is too rudimentary for what seems to be a very plausible fix.
I've utilized every function my screens offer, as well as inversion (I have UHD 4k monitors with multiple settings) and there always seems to be something that doesn't mesh well with it (a game/video/project). I'm merely suggesting an option to enlarge the font, or a mirror color scheme that includes enlarged font, similar to the default blue setting :)

No prob, just wanted to give a workaround in the meantime. Cheers m3.

Regarding your "Signatures, screenshots, avatars, and any image", the problem is scaling the images up, they will look really distorted (for a display style)

I know in Chrome / Firefox in the top right menu, there is a zoom feature. It helps a lot for older people (grandma/mom both used it). Also works with any display style

Just tested it with the zoom, and it does work with images (screenshots, avatars, etc). Could be a temporary solution!

The zoom feature is what I currently use, but it zooms everything, ultimately means distorted images and layouts. All I really need is the font
