Difference between a bookshelf and a theme?
What is the difference between a bookshelf and a theme? Bookshelf = *.app? Theme = *.pbt? Do I need a bookshelf for a theme to work?
I got a bookshelf *.app that works for 602 and I wanted to change the dictionary configuration (theme?) so it can work for Chinese dictionaries. But I can't find the *.txt to edit, only a *.pbt that I couldn't do anything about. I am not computer person. Forgive my ignorance. I want to add the following lines that have been tried by other people for Japanese: dictionary.font.normal=Arial Unicode MS,18,0 dictionary.font.bold=Arial Unicode MS,18,0 dictionary.font.translation=Arial Unicode MS,18,0 dictionary.font.extra=Arial Unicode MS,20,0 |

I am not too sure about the bookshelf, but as I understand it the theme is in essence a user interface - in which (if you can edit it) you can change some aspect of the organization and appearance (e.g. which directory you keep the books, fonts, etc.).
Perhaps the answer to your question is here: if you download the source of the theme, UnicodeMS_src.zip, there are some dictionary related lines that are those you want: Quote:
I think in order to compile the theme after modifications you still need the theme compiling software (see this message by Kacir) |

Have you tried loading the modern theme, does it work? The reason I ask is that many icons seem to be in common. Perhaps you could load a screenshot of your device when you load the UnicodeMS theme? EDIT: one thing I forgot to say, I also loaded the Arial Unicode font in "system/fonts" Last edited by paola; 06-02-2011 at 04:32 PM. |

bookshelf is an application - some kind of file (book) manager. Theme contains user interface settings and resources (bitmaps) used by bookshelf itself and by book reading applications such as fbreader etc.

Thank you, pkbo, for the information. I just found that when I opened certain epub ebook with fbreader, the lines didn't turn automatically - one paragraph one line - so I could only read the first few words of each paragraph on the screan. When I open the book with Coolreader and Calibre to view, the text fits the screen perfectly. Are epub ebooks supposed to format itself according to the screen? I don't remember I changed any settings in FBreader. Any idea?
