	//// Options

	// Around 21/10/2022 Discord put a larger vertical gap between messages.
	// his reduces the gap size similar to how it was before.
	const reduceGapBetweenMessages = false; // Turned off while I try Appearance > Compact Mode.  I also see some settings in Discord we could play with.

	// When a channel has activity (new messages), Discord makes the name of that channel bold and white, which is fine.
	// But Discord also does that for the selected channel, which makes it look like it has new activity, when maybe it doesn't.
	// I can't stand that behaviour, so I disable it.
	const doNotBrightenSelectedChannel = true;

	// It turns out that on Windows, my Discord tab was zoomed to 70%, although I'm not sure how, because that wasn't in zoomValues.  Was it copying the zoom from Linux?
	const usePreferredFont = false; // navigator.userAgent.match(/Linux/);

	const giveTextInputBoxADarkBackground = true;
