The other issues with the existing official dictionary involve the bootstrap framework, and those are not easy to address without ripping out bootstrap. While we are on the topic of a large monitor, that does not fix the issues. Indeed, on a larger monitor, the dictionary will get worse, due to bootstrap's 7-column setup. The bezels get to be gigantic except within very narrow ranges. You can do what you want, Bernd, but this is a far better dictionary than what is packaged with LC, and certainly better than I could have built if I had continued on what started as my quest to submit a pull request to replace the existing dictionary, so I hope you change your mind.
