:-( Read the PR my dear friend: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/9915/c...54d7d6R103 - new default 20 %
For your other question: Yes, this is kodi only. No chance for your desktop environment. For best desktop practice nowadays:
#if TV is Limited Range
1) When starting kodi, set xrandr to FULL (or set xrandr to VideoRange 16:235, which is _NOT_ in any mainline kernel, but in openelec / libreelec) - as this is a kodi appliance. Use it in combination with "Use Limited Range in kodi".
2) When exiting kodi, set xrandr to Limited 16:235 - that way all desktop applications which compute in Full Range anyways are "properly" scaled to your Limited Range TV
#else
1) When starting your computer (!) the whole computer. Set xrandr range to full to match your TV / monitor. Don't use kodi's Use Limited Range setting, but enable 8 bit dithering.
#endif
