This is the Turkish keyboard patch, if it is possible, I would like to change all of the first row too.

Code:

<Patch>
patch_name = `Turkish keyboard`
patch_enable = `yes`
# Replace layout sign
replace_string = C16AB4, `ÉÀÇ`, `TR/EN`
# Change keyboard layout
base_address = C169D4
# Second row
replace_string = 0004, `à\0`, `q`
replace_string = 0008, `è\0`, `w`
replace_string = 000C, `ì\0`, `e`
replace_string = 0010, `ò\0`, `r`
replace_string = 0014, `ù\0`, `t`
replace_string = 0018, `á\0`, `y`
replace_string = 001C, `é\0`, `u`
replace_string = 0020, `í\0`, `ı`
replace_string = 0024, `ó\0`, `o`
replace_string = 0028, `ú\0`, `p`
replace_string = 002C, `ý\0`, `ü`
# Third row
replace_string = 0034, `â\0`, `a`
replace_string = 0038, `ê\0`, `s`
replace_string = 003C, `î\0`, `d`
replace_string = 0040, `ô\0`, `f`
replace_string = 0044, `û\0`, `g`
replace_string = 0048, `ä\0`, `h`
replace_string = 004C, `ë\0`, `j`
replace_string = 0050, `ï\0`, `k`
replace_string = 0054, `ö\0`, `l`
replace_string = 0058, `ü\0`, `ş`
replace_string = 005C, `ÿ\0`, `ğ`
# Bottom row
replace_string = 0060, `ã\0`, `z`
replace_string = 0064, `ñ\0`, `x`
replace_string = 0068, `õ\0`, `c`
replace_string = 006C, `å\0`, `v`
replace_string = 0070, `ß\0`, `b`
replace_string = 0074, `ç\0`, `n`
replace_string = 0078, `đ\0`, `m`
replace_string = 007C, `ø\0`, `ö`
replace_string = 0080, `ĳ\0`, `ç`
replace_string = 0084, `ł\0`, `i`
</Patch>

New `KePub zero body margin/padding` patch doesn't work. The old one worked perfectly with the FullScreenReading and Glo, but with this one cut offs are back.

If you turn back to normal reading, set your settings for the FullScreenReading, and then return to the FullScreenReading, things are well; but if you make even one change (font size, line spacing or margin) while in FullScreenReading, text is cutted off.

Could you double-check that the patch is enabled? I really can't see any way the new patch could have that effect if the old one worked, as the part of the stylesheet that the new patch changes which the old patch didn't is only active in normal reading mode.

Edit: Just to make sure: there are two "cut off" bugs that affect KePubs in full-screen mode. The first bug just cuts off parts of letters like " f " and affects all kepubs; the second one shifts the whole page to the right and usually cuts off whole words, but only affects some kepubs. The `KePub zero body margin/padding` patch fixes the second bug, but you still need to use the `Fix kepub side bearing font cut-off bug` as well to fix the first bug.

I am sorry, really sorry. I just copied and pasted and forgot to enable the patch again. Everything is working now.

The new patch fixes the problem in full-screen mode, but unlike the old patch it doesn't prevent the margins being changed in normal reading mode.

Can you post the updated patch separately so those of us who have already edited tsome of the patches can just replace that one? Thanks.

I've added the new `KePub zero body margin/padding` patch to my original post #15.

There is a problem that occurs in some KePubs when long-pressing a word at the end of the line, discussed in this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...8&postcount=95

The problem happens in normal and full-screen mode, but perhaps only when the margin slider is set to the minimum.

I think the solution is the same as for the font cut-off problem, described in the "Working around problems with reading kepubs in full-screen mode" section of post #2 in this thread:

Quote:

For sideloaded kepubs created by recent versions of Calibre's KoboTouchExtended driver, this can be fixed by adding the following to the book's stylesheet or to kobo_extra.css:

Code:

div#book-columns { padding: 0.2em !important; }

For kepubs synced from Kobo or created with older versions of the KoboTouchExtended driver, enabling the `Fix kepub side bearing font cut-off bug` patch will add the appropriate padding to the device's built-in stylesheet instead.

Here is a new Cyrillic keyboard patch that can be used as a template for other languages, to create a custom keypad to replace the extended Latin keypad that appears when you tap the "ÉÀÇ" key.

Note that the keyboard layout on the Aura HD/H2O is different than on other devices:

For the Aura HD/H2O this patch can replace the 34 letters on the second, third and bottom rows, but not the numerals on the top row.

For the Touch/Mini/Glo/Aura the keys that appear at the left of the second and third rows of the Aura HD/H2O keypad have moved to the top row, and there are 7 more keys that can be replaced on the top row, along with a duplicate "ł" key (Latin small letter L with stroke) that appears both on the top and bottom row.

Firmware 3.13.1 (libnickel.so.1.0.0):

I am busy with the patch, but isn't it possible anymore to set the page xx of xx to a fixed font (in my case Amasis)
Also, the page xx of xx is a bit small,hard to read on the Glo, I would like it a bit bigger.

To increase the footer font size on the Glo, replace the 20px at the end of this line in the `Custom reading footer style` patch with a larger number:

Code:

# Replacement caption font size value for Glo/Aura:
replace_string = 0054, `font-size: 20px;`, `font-size: 20px;`

I didn't include options for a fixed font because that was a workaround for the problem of Gothic being used when Document Default was selected, and Kobo have fixed that problem in this firmware.

But to use Amasis for the footer you could try adding this line to the end of the patch, just beware that there could be a problem with choosing Amasis because it is not one of the fonts that is loaded automatically at boot time. The first time you open a book after booting, the footer might not work properly until you select a font from the Aa menu.

Code:

replace_string = 00D7, `#caption[qApp_localeName="ja_JP"]`, `#caption{font-family:Amasis;}`

Then I first proceed with the first part because I have My Kobo HD also, when I make the txt bigger, it sunks more to the bezel..

So then change the 052px at the end of both these lines to a larger number such as 060px, to increase the height of the footer:

Code:

# Replacement Footer height values: AuraHD/H2O
replace_string = 00DA, `min-height: 120px;`, `min-height: 052px;`
replace_string = 00EE, `max-height: 120px;`, `max-height: 052px;`

The footer code has changed a lot in this firmware version, it might take some trial and error to get the footer looking exactly how you had it before.

I have the problem that I had enabled the
patch_name = `Compact homepage layout (Glo)` on.
It looks like the patch have done something with the database on my Aura HD.
All the covers of the books are really small on the home page, I did disabled it again,but it would not make it better, a lot of white and very small covers.
I even raplaced the firmware again and then patch it with the setting off, but the pictures stay small so that is why I think it has done something with the pics loaded from the database, any idea how I get the original sizes back ?
