What I changed it to is the the display I prefer is:
Code:
<Patch>
patch_name = `Custom footer`
patch_enable = `yes`
#
# Changes the footer text with something shorter
# (not sure how it affects translations)
#
replace_string = CAA164, `Page %1 <i>of</i> %2`, `%1 / %2`
</Patch>
Note that I added a space before and after the / for the page numbers. For my bad eyes and the font, it was just too scrunched together. The extra spacing makes it easier for me to read. |
I would want the space before and after the / also. I am used to displaying things this way from my cost accounting / job costing work. Clarifies things very nicely. Thank you for taking the time to explain so fully. Absolutely perfect for me.
ETA - is it also possible to right justify the x / xx, or is the middle the only option?
