Hi All,
I am intrigued by Kobo devices because of the open enough access to the Linux layer, and I am intrigued by the new hardware with 1440x1080 resolution.

Only - apart from the non-convincing dictionary UI - one fault is blocking: the lack of a full-screen (or almost full-screen) option. The bottom bar (page numbers and static menu) should be at least halved; its internal font needs to be greatly reduced.

Did anyone manage to tweak the bottom area of the screen? Are there relevant editable files in the system, or are they compiled inside libadobe.so? In the latter case: can libadobe.so be recompiled? Is the source available?

Thank you
