Minor suggestions: multitask switching document names & 'improved' frontlight temperature control

Suggestions based upon experience with the Note Air (3.1), but I imagine they are applicable to other sized devices too, which is why I put these in the General Discussion.

1. On 'Multitasking switching' window with multiple documents open in NeoReader ('Enable multiple documents' is checked under NeoReader Global Settings) all instances have the title 'NeoReader V3.0'. For quicker navigating and workflow purposes it would be more useful to have the document title here.

2. Frontlight control is now done with two separate sliders. One for the cold light, one for the warm light. If you want to in- or decrease the light intensity but maintain the same color (temperature) of the light you have to fiddle with the two sliders till you get what you want. Linking the two would seem the logical thing to do here, but this only results in the cold and warm sliders taking and remaining fixed at the same value instead of remaining fixed at the set ratio between the two. 

From my experience with Kobo ereaders it is much more intuitive to have one slider for the overall intensity (i.e., controlling both warm and cold LED's at the same time) and another slider to set the ratio between the two groups of LED's. To use a photography analogy: one slider to set the exposure, another slider to set the whitebalance.

  I fully support both suggestions! Especially frontlight control would be really an improvement in usability.
