The CSS which needs to be patched in the
nickel file is stored in compressed (zlib) format. GeoffR's patching method does not currently allow us to make user-configurable patches for compressed CSS streams. However, if you have the technical skills and the necessary motivation to do your own experiments there are 2 other ways of creating patches which do allow you to modify compressed nickel code.
I haven't used tshering's method so I can't say anything about ease of use. I have used pipcat's method (plus GeoffR's makepatch utility) to convert pipcat-style nickel patches into GeoffR-style (non-user-configurable) nickel patches. Although I didn't find the pipcat method particularly difficult to learn it did take me a while to get my head around it. It's really up to you to decide how much time and effort you want to spend in creating your own personalised custom nickel patches. If you do decide to have a go the compressed CSS stream you need to patch is the one containing the variable named
InlineDictionaryView but you will need to also make changes to other variables in the same CSS stream. Just a word of warning, the CSS stream number changes with every firmware update so you need to check that the work you already did is still valid each time.

If there is a way, I'm afraid I don't know of it.
