Regarding 'Custom reading footer style', I'm flashing my H2O from 3.19.5761 to 4.3.8842. I previously used the following values to shrink the footer to my preferred height:

# Example replacement footer height values: AuraHD/H2O/GloHD
replace_string = 001A, `footerMargin: 105;`, `footerMargin: 170;`
replace_string = 002D, `min-height: 70px;`, `min-height: 36px;`
replace_string = 003F, `max-height: 70px;`, `max-height: 36px;`

However, 70px and 36px output an error in the latest patch. I've tried various other combinations and they all result in an error. Currently, I'm using the default values of

# Replacement footer height values: AuraHD/H2O/GloHD
replace_string = 0076, `min-height:80px`, `min-height:52px`
replace_string = 0086, `max-height:80px`, `max-height:52px`

The patch is nearly perfect except for the larger footer than I prefer. Geoff, or anyone else, are there smaller than default values that will output a usable patch?
I've not yet tried it, but here is my customized patch for the H2O.

Code:
<Patch>
patch_name = `Custom reading footer style`
patch_enable = `yes`
# Multi-version patch: 4.0.7523 - 4.3.8842+
# patch_group = `Reading footer alternatives`
#
## This patch customises the following properties of the reading footer:
##
##  * Footer height (the amount of the screen reserved for the footer.)
##  * Caption font size (Caption = page number or other progress indicator)
##  * Caption top margin, which changes its vertical position within the footer.
##  * Caption font family.
#
# When editing the replacement values below, BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHANGE THE LENGTH
# OF THE REPLACEMENT STRING! If a replacement string is too long you will get
# an error when making the patch, but if one is too short then there will be no
# error, but strange things will happen to the reading footer.
