canvas based image system for performance?

[mienaiyami]

Currently I'm using actual image element show images. Canvas is like windows paint; you can draw on it and add images. I'm planning to use this element to show images. Might even remove stuttering but can't say for sure.
It will give me full control over images, so i might even be able to control image quality to make reader smoother.

Thanks for your hard work. Looking forward to it.

But please do not reduce the image quality to make reader smoother.

[mienaiyami]

Tt will be user controlled of course.

The new UI feels a bit cluttered by the way.

[mienaiyami]

Can you them point out so i can make better.
I also plan to make new system for themes later. I didnt had plans for custom theme when i made this app so themes properties are messed up.
I know myself that im not good at naming thing. You can guess it by this and the fact that i dont have a name for this app yet.
