As often happens, the details of this patch has had to change to adapt to changes in the firmware. I'll try to summarise here how to customise the patch settings.

As in previous versions, there are four variables that can be changed:

1. Total height of footer (in pixels)
2. Font size used for the progress indicator
3. Position of progress indicator within footer
4. Font face used for the progress indicator

When changing the first three settings in the patch it is important not to change the total length of the replacement string. e.g. change `-10px;` to `-05px;` so that the number of characters remains the same.

1. To set the total height of the footer, change the min-height and max-height replacement values (right-most values) in this section:

Code:

# Example replacement footer height values: Glo/Aura
replace_string = 001A, `footerMargin: 105;`, `footerMargin: 105;`
replace_string = 002D, `min-height: 70px;`, `min-height: 40px;`
replace_string = 003F, `max-height: 70px;`, `max-height: 40px;`

e.g. to set the total height to 30px, change it to:

Code:

# Example replacement footer height values: Glo/Aura
replace_string = 001A, `footerMargin: 105;`, `footerMargin: 105;`
replace_string = 002D, `min-height: 70px;`, `min-height: 30px;`
replace_string = 003F, `max-height: 70px;`, `max-height: 30px;`

2. If you reduce the total height of the footer, you might also need to reduce the font-size used for the progress indicator so that it will still fit in the footer. To set the font size, change the replacement value for the appropriate device in the section below:

Code:

# Replacement caption font size value for Touch/Mini:
replace_string = 000A, `font-size: 16px;`, `font-size: 16px;`
# Replacement caption font size value for Glo/Aura:
replace_string = 0054, `font-size: 20px;`, `font-size: 20px;`
# Replacement caption font size value for AuraHD/H2O:
replace_string = 008C, `font-size: 26px;`, `font-size: 26px;`
# Replacement caption font size value for GloHD:
replace_string = 00C5, `font-size: 30px;`, `font-size: 30px;`

e.g. to set the font size used by the GloHD to 24px:

Code:

# Replacement caption font size value for GloHD:
replace_string = 00C5, `font-size: 30px;`, `font-size: 24px;`

3. The progress indicator will normally be displayed centred vertically in the footer, but by default the patch will move it a bit further upwards (if there is room in the footer). To set the position, change the replacement value in the following section of the patch: a larger (more negative) value moves the progress indicator further upwards, but only within the limits of the total footer height. A zero value (or commenting out the replace_string line) leaves the progress indicator cenred vertically:

Code:

# Replacement caption top margin value for all devices:
# (A negative top margin moves the caption text upwards,
# further from the bezel and closer to the page content.)
replace_string = 001A, `margin-top: 00px;`, `margin-top:-10px;`

4. In this firmware version, the font used for the progress indicator is normally set to whatever font is selected from the Aa menu, or Georgia if "Publisher default" is selected. This can be a problem because some fonts do not sit centred vertically within the line, which can result in the progress indicator test being clipped, especially if a very small footer height is used. You can change the font used for the progress indicator by uncommenting the replace_string line in the following section of the patch and changing the font name:

Code:

# Uncomment to use a fixed replacement caption font family, for all devices:
# (You can change Avenir to another font name of your choice, but Avenir or
# Georgia are recommended because other fonts may not be loaded when the book
# is first opened and so might cause problems. Unlike other strings it is OK
# if this replacement string is a bit longer or shorter than the original.)
#replace_string = 00D7, `#caption[qApp_localeName="ja_JP"] {font-family: Sans-SerifJP;}`, `#caption {font-family: Georgia;}

e.g. to set the font to Avenir:

Code:

# Uncomment to use a fixed replacement caption font family, for all devices:
# (You can change Avenir to another font name of your choice, but Avenir or
# Georgia are recommended because other fonts may not be loaded when the book
# is first opened and so might cause problems. Unlike other strings it is OK
# if this replacement string is a bit longer or shorter than the original.)
replace_string = 00D7, `#caption[qApp_localeName="ja_JP"] {font-family: Sans-SerifJP;}`, `#caption {font-family: Avenir;}

Hi,

I am trying on an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x86_64 for a Kobo Glo HD and get this error when trying to run the .sh (see attachment for the log):
"tools/patch32lsb-x86_64-Linux: line 58 in '3.19.5613_source/libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch': find_base_address string not found."

Please see the attachments for the details of the error. I checked that line and is exactly the same for the path in the patch before, so not sure what the problem is...

Thanks.

The problem is:

Code:

#
# The following two patches are alternatives, don't enable both at once.
#
# `Disable reading footer`
# `Custom reading footer style`
#

Many thanks GeoffR,

Noob mistake, now is working (Kobo Glo HD).

For the record, that patch file for *nickel* has several more errors (Initially I replaced all enable='no', for enable='yes', I know...

):

This among them:

Code:

tools/patch32lsb-x86_64-Linux: line 1191 in '3.19.5613_source/libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch': replace_bytes mismatched data.

-> means the patch is twice in my patch file

thanks for patch!
Are you able to edit `Custom reading footer style` to align page numbers on the right side of the screen? (like a real book).

But you won't be able to get the footer in the left for the next page. Plus, eBooks are real books.

mortimer7 · 12-28-2015, 07:03 AM

p.s.
i have a problem with `Custom page refresh options (Aura only)`:
i have used this settings:

Code:

<Patch>
patch_name = `Custom page refresh options (Aura only)`
patch_enable = `yes`
#
# The other two `Custom page refresh options` patches don't have any effect on
# the Aura, which uses a different menu:
#
#     1,5,10,Chapter
# --> 1,8,64,Chapter
#
replace_int = 79B996, 5, 32
replace_int = 79BB80, 5, 32
replace_int = 79BBEE, 5, 32
replace_string = BC8088, `5 pages`, `32 page`
#
replace_int = 79BA32, 10, 99
replace_int = 79BD1E, 10, 99
replace_int = 79BD7A, 10, 99
replace_string = BC8090, `10 pages`, `99 page`
</Patch>

but my Aura shows only "Chapter", "1 pages" and "99 page".

I tried adding text-align:right; to the CSS styles but it had no effect. It might still be possible, but it is not obvious how to do it.

FWIW most of my paper books have the page number bottom centre, and the rest have it top right/left. I can't find any that have it bottom right/left.

Thanks, I don't have an Aura so I will depend on other testing this one.

Could you try this new patch and see if it works properly?

I've opened 4 random paper books. The first had them bottom center, the second top left/right, the third top center, the fourth bottom left/right.

Hello!

I'm sorry, guys, is there a way to reduce the space between the top of the text and the title of the book?

Thank you!

Thanks, I've updated the attachment in post #1 to incude this new patch for the Aura with two alternatives: 1,8,32,Chapter and 1,32,99,Chapter.

No, there is nothing that can be done about the size of the header in KePub books. The only options are to remove it completely:
* load the book as an ePub instead (the ePub reader doesn't have a header), or
* use full-screen reading mode (see this post)

If you read the book as an ePub then the `ePub fixed/adjustable top/bottom margins` patch can be used to control the size of the top and/or bottom margins, in both full-screen and normal reading modes.

If you read KePubs in full-screen mode then the top/bottom margins are adjustable, and the `KePub default margins` patch can be use to reduce their minimum size (to zero if desired.)
