The undocumented shell command is currently used to invoke the screensaver: Code:
/usr/sbin/eips -s 5 Quote:
The length of this interval is a system-wide setting, and there should be a way to change this. You can trigger the power daemon signal by sliding the power button or by simulating this action in software: Code:
powerd_test -p Code:
powerd_test -h In a response to a 'sleep' signal current build of fbKindle just shows the screensaver and blocks its screen output. Maybe the native framework does more.. currently unknown. Quote:
this can be caused even by running clock shown at the right bottom. |

h1uke, if I see it right the clock does not "run".
It just stays at the time when you loaded the page and will not switch to the next minute. And when I let the Kindle sleep in the FBK screensaver, wake it up and go back to Kindle the Kindle reacts strange. Looks like it captured all the keystrokes and puts them into action. Or something like that... And I still think it would be great to be able to ignore the CSS that comes with the EPUB... |

put into a sleep mode, and shows the right time after wake up. Nothing special with my setup, maybe except for the fact that my fbK configuration files were not changed manually, as suggested here, and there's no other Qt-based product installed on my k3. Quote:
FYI: when switching from fbK back to Kindle, fbK simulates a "Home" key press -- this is the only known way to cause Kindle to refresh its screen. No neutral key was found for that purpose so far Quote:
I'm just porting it (actually, helping somebody else) to a new platform, and we are not home yet. Maybe when the dust settles we'll be able to address this issue. |

Is there anyway to make fbKindle appearance exactly the same as my Kindle setup? I have default typeface and words per line, large linespace, and the 4th smallest font size. I've tried tweaking the settings, but I have no idea what the font the "regular" one is and the other information.

the font is 'helvetica lt medium 65'. you'll have to get a copy of it and put it in the fonts folder mentioned in the first post. i set my left/right margins to 40 and linespacing to 1.9 and thats pretty close to what i see on my k3... Last edited by jetfin; 11-23-2010 at 07:00 AM. |

FBreader (Dhza) - use of some certain code and tools that was shared by andy wooden, a distinctive vision for the project but some doubtfull decisions on the code and need of Kindle restart before use, the developer suggested that he intends to continue on and work on the project. fbKindle (andy wooden) - some original code and tools, some nice improvements when comparing to FBreader(no kindle restart needed for the code to operate), prefered by the majority, the developer has suggested that support and new features for this implementation might be irregular. |

How to change the top and bottom margin on library tree view? On mine, the top and bottom are cut off. and I don't know how to change the display font size on the library view either, if I organize the books by authors, then the authors' name are too big compare the books' name.
Another problem I have is if I read the chinese books, the spacing between paragraph is goofed up, like no spacing between paragraph, and I could't find out what control it. The regular line space is fine and can be controlled by the line spacing item in the option, weird thing is I don't have this problem in English books. The books are in epub format. |

where your system fonts reside. This can be accomplished by editing the goqt.sh script sitting in a root directory of fbKindle/FBReader. Find the line Code:
export QT_QWS_FONTDIR=`pwd`/qtKindle/lib/fonts Code:
export QT_QWS_FONTDIR=/usr/java/lib/fonts fbKindle/FBreader is capable of showing dialogs and menus in many native languages: in goqt.sh find the line Code:
./"$1" -qws Code:
./"$1" -qws -lang <your_preferred_language_code> Default is en which stands for English. Following interface languages are currently supported: Code:
[root@kindle fbKindle]# ls share/FBReader/resources/ ar.xml de.xml es.xml fr.xml id.xml lt.xml ru.xml uk.xml zh.xml cs.xml en.xml fi.xml hu.xml itxml nl.xml sv.xml vi.xml [root@kindle fbKindle]# |

I'm not sure what's supposed to happen but after i press shift then F then R for fbkindle, my screen sort of blanks. And the only way I can see my titles again are if I scroll over them. It doesn't seem to notice my test epub.... Can someone please clear up what I am doing wrong?
