I bought the premium version. The row of the input box to type new characters is too low. I want the input row to be high.

I purchased the premium, and I have a suggestion; One is to make the app theme changeable because my eyes are actually hurts seeing the same yellow everytime I open the app. And two, is to please make it so that I can scroll with one swipe when editing a word description to get from end to end of the description, because I have to scroll many times just to go from the end of the description to the start of the description; because the ruler stops once I lift my finger from the screen
