I am using a Kobo h2o with KSM and KOreader, mostly for mangas (zips) and pdfs.

I would like to never display a book's cover (reading manga or displaying a technical PDF, I'd rather have the current page always displayed) when I put the Kobo to sleep.

I can disable the option, but I need to do it for every file (zip or pdf) I open. Sometimes my manga is 1 zip for 1 chapter, so a file lasts just 3-5 minutes of reading time.

I tried long pressing the option, to make it default but it didn't work. I also looked at defaults.persistent.lua but couldn't find the option in here.

Any advice ?

Also, is there a place I can remove the "Suspended" message box ? Or edit the text. Even if I have to modify the source code, that would be acceptable. Ideally I would just like a small icon in a corner saying the Kobo is suspended, and the current page still displayed so I can read it even if the device is off and I would like this to be the default behavior, always.
Actually, that was how I preferred it when we first were talking about the implementation of the sleep/screensaver. It was easier back then to comment out the "self.suspend_msg" or change the text = _("Suspended") to something else.

It looks like they moved all that to: /frontend/ui/screensaver.lua (around line 130, using Notepad++)

I used to like it staying on the page while I fiddled with something.

Luck;

If you open "defaults.lua" in Notepad++ , oddly in the section labeled -- Light parameter for Kobo You can change KOBO_SCREEN_SAVER_LAST_BOOK to "false". That should be happening with the long press though. You can copy/merge the defaults.lua into your defaults.persistent.lua to have all the settings there as well.
