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. |
Just a note about this patch. I used this with version 3.11 and one day, out of the blue, the sleep image had a white top margin of around 10 pixels. I couldn't figure out what was causing it and even did a factory reset, which got me to 3.7 and back to a properly stretched sleep image. Updated to 3.11 and used the above patch again, but I made the replacement string
the same length as the original.
Haven't had a problem yet. I suspect that might have been the cause because I remember reading about keeping the patch replacement strings the same length as the originals.
Another oddity was sometimes the page numbers where huge and even partly cut off by the bezel. Haven't had that problem either.
