NickelNote - Show a custom note while the device is locked
Hello everyone,
Allow me to share NickelNote, a mod to show some notes on the cover view of your Kobo reader. NickelNote will let you put a customized note on the front page to add a bit of personalization to your kobo. Add personal touches like kind words for gifts or contact numbers for forgetful moments. This note will be visible in the full-screen view when the device is sleeping and powered down. The source code and the release is available here: https://github.com/onatbas/nickelnote Made using NickelHook. Big thanks to geek1011 and shermp for their patience, assistance, and tools. Usage:
Future Work: Pull requests are welcome.

Thank you, this will be very handy. I had long been hoping for something like this- fairly customisable and not obscuring the entire bookcover.

I'm glad you find it useful. I'm still refining the style to match the default "Sleeping" widget more closely. Currently, I'm using the style.template to mimic the default widget's appearance. The content is highly customizable as it's a QLabel, supporting almost all standard HTML.

Update: v0.0.3
Changes: - A “pin.template” file will now overwrite the “Forgot Pin?” text in the Pin Input dialog with a custom note. Download can be found here: https://github.com/onatbas/nickelnote/releases/latest |
