Should Reader discussions be here or in this thread?

I had a bit of a play around with the reader.xml and what is and isn't needed.

With this

Code:

<styles default="/mnt/sdcard/reader/css/default.css" />

and leaving out all the <style ..> entries both the clock and the font size overrides work. You get the default font choices, but default.css is ignored. Leaving out the <styles ...> section altogether gives the same behaviour.

Using

Code:

<styles default="/mnt/sdcard/reader/css/default.css">
</styles>

gave random behaviour. Sometimes Reader gave a force close message, sometimes it started but took a while. These surely would be some of Morkl's "nasal daemons". Don't do this!

Simplifying the first example this complete reader.xml

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<reader pagesPerRefresh="1">
        <informationBar left="none" right="clock_hm" />
</reader>

gives you the default font size choices, a clock at the bottom and of course Morkl's bold/italic fixes.

I didn't try having the wrong number of <style ...> entries in the <styles> section.

Cheers,
Simon.
