Can I have that giant strip of my desktop/background back, please?

So far. so good. I like the reading options, and options to read elsewhere or share as needed. These seem well thought out and implemented.

First gripe, I’d like to be able to set the background opacity/blur on the main pane for the app, so I don’t have it owning so much real estate over my background images. I had to permanently alter my GeekTool setup becasue I couldn’t modify the pane enough (placement or opacity/blur) to keep it from covering the running logs that already live on my desktop.
Secondly, not having a menu bar item when the app icon is hidden from the Dock. Which is probably why the mane pane can’t be hidden, docked off/minimized to the edge of the screen, etc…

Functionally, it’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to. But a few more interface options would be nice, so I don’t have to adjust to the ‘one way’ the app does things.

Eidted to remove a temorary issue not caused by the app.
