Unfortunately, with recent firmwares, the cover generation is done on the fly, rather than all at once when books are added. This means that I will either need to either find a way for each publisher's ebooks to set the margins for the cover to 0, so I can adjust the margins as desired when reading and this won't affect the generation of new covers. Or find a way, again for each publisher, to hard-code the margins of each book, except the cover, so I can keep the kobo margin settings at 0 (this may be simpler, but mean's I can't change the margins when reading, which is a pain). |

I just checked the impact of this by loading some books onto the kobo, opening the library and browsing a couple of pages with the margins set to 0. The covers generated properly. Once I opened a book and set the margins to a non-0 amount, any new covers generated had margins added, and the cover image was squeezed into the space between the margins - ruining the aspect ratio.

You can add this code to your cover.xml or cover.html:
Code:
<style type="text/css"> /*<![CDATA[*/ @page {padding: 0pt; margin: 0pt;} body.nb {padding: 0pt; margin: 0pt;} /*]]>*/ </style> If there is a line starting with <link href="../Styles/ in the head (before </head>) then delete the complete line. That's it. An easier way is to copy the cover.xml from the file I attached earlier in the thread and put it in the other books. Make shure that the cover image is named cover.png and resolution is 800x600. Last edited by RG1; 10-28-2012 at 05:56 PM. |

I have 500 books on my reader and all have correct Covers. Sorry about the Linux thing, I coded that for myself at the beginning with .NET and have done some very limited testing in Linux. But I though that most distro already included Mono. Maybe A VM would be better? |
