OK, you talked me into it. Just copy/paste the patch below into your existing nickel.patch file for fw 4.1.7729 and run GeoffR's Patcher program as normal.

I've written this patch in a way that should also allow it to run in future firmware versions - but only if Kobo don't change the CSS code for this particular section (so no guarantees).

See post #13 for pictures of how it looks on an AuraOne.

Patch to reduce size of Top Header menubar by 33%

Many thanks for your work! I suppose it's screen size independent, isn't?

I have two questions?
Is there any chance to modify to use with FW 3.1x? I like use 3.12.1, 3.15 or 3.19 if i have the opportunity.
Is there any chance to use same method to reduce the botton bar? The top bar look awesome!


Edit: I refered to menubars, of course.
