196-203: Improve image alt text and ensure figure caption clarityUse a meaningful alt text for accessibility and search, and clarify the caption if it’s meant to describe the UI state.
- + <div align="center"> - <em>Figure 3.24</em> + <em>Figure 3.24: Enabling Lite Mode from the Properties panel</em> </div>
204-210: Consistency, clarity, and code formatting in feature list
- Use “Lite Mode” consistently.
- Expand the DPR acronym on first use.
- Format code-like terms with backticks.
-The Lite Mode is a performance mode that trades visual quality and features for better performance on resource-constrained devices. The Lite mode does the following things: +The Lite Mode is a performance mode that trades visual quality and features for better performance on resource-constrained devices. Lite Mode does the following: -1. Reduces Canvas Resolution: Sets DPR to 1 regardless of device (no retina/high-DPI rendering) -2. Slows Down Updates: Makes UI updates 5x less frequent (time *= 5) -3. Disables Minimap: Completely disables minimap rendering and setup -4. Reduces Scaling Complexity: Simplifies canvas scaling calculations +1. Reduces canvas resolution: sets device pixel ratio (DPR) to 1 on all devices (no Retina/high‑DPI rendering). +2. Slows down updates: makes UI updates 5× less frequent (update interval `time *= 5`). +3. Disables minimap: completely disables minimap rendering and setup. +4. Reduces scaling complexity: simplifies canvas scaling calculations.
204-205: Add a quick “How to enable” instructionA one-liner improves discoverability and aligns with the PR’s goal of showing how to enable Lite Mode.

213-217: Promote label to subheading and tighten wordingMake “Visual Changes” a subheading (no trailing colon) and keep phrasing parallel.
-Visual Changes: -1. Lower Resolution: Circuit elements appear less crisp on high-DPI displays -2. No Minimap: The navigation minimap is hidden -3. Slower Responsiveness: UI updates happen less frequently +#### Visual changes +1. Lower resolution: circuit elements may appear less crisp on high‑DPI displays. +2.

218-222: Use consistent capitalization and hyphenation; consider subheadingMatch “Lite Mode” capitalization; prefer hyphenation “battery‑saving.” Also remove trailing colon by turning it into a subheading.
-When to use Lite mode: -1. Low-end devices with limited graphics performance -2. Battery saving on mobile devices -3. Older computers that struggle with high-resolution rendering -4.

196-204: Add brief enablement mention and improve figure accessibility.
- Suggest stating where to enable Lite Mode and use a descriptive alt/caption for screen readers.
Apply this diff:
-## Lite Mode in Simulator +## Lite Mode in Simulator +You can enable Lite Mode from the Simulator settings (see Figure 3.24). - + - <em>Figure 3.24</em> + <em>Figure 3.24: Lite Mode toggle in Simulator settings</em>
204-210: Clarify terminology and avoid ambiguous “5x less frequent”.
- Define DPR on first use; prefer clear phrasing over code snippets; use consistent sentence case.
