Interesting.  I must have missed this.  It should be relatively
straightforward to do:  Just look for headlines or body text.

I'm warming to this.  Style settings have the greatest effect.  People
will want to play with them first, and iirc you have already written a
reload-styles script.  Yes?

I was referring to this bug earlier today.  We are on the same page here.

Before we go further, please do look at the simplified and reorganized
leoSettings.leo.  I am amazed by how much like an .ini file it now looks.
People are much less likely to freak now.  I'm chagrined to realize how
complex this must have seemed to newbies.

In short, the new leoSettings.leo will help as is, but anything that makes
playing with visual settings easier will be appreciated by everyone,
including me.
