FOOTER
Select show footer into settings.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHANGE THE LENGTH OF THE REPLACEMENT STRING.
You can increase red color text.

HEADER
If you have activated

  src/libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml:
    Custom kepub default margins: yes

you can reduce

Spoiler:

      Find:    "#StatusBarView[qApp_deviceIsTrilogy=true] {\n  max-height: 71px;\n  min-height: 71px;\n}\n\

      Replace: "#StatusBarView{max-height:60px;min-height:60px;}"

perhaps to

      Replace: "#StatusBarView{max-height:35px;min-height:35px;}"

Beware because it's the menu bar size too.
Good luck.

Am I the only one who is confused?

Are these suggestions aimed only at those who are using your "Progressive 4.11.11911" patch set (aka tshering's BAD EYES revisited)? Because, if so, you should make that clear.

If you are offering general advice to to all kobopatch users then why not make it clear that all this can be achieved by custom-tweaking the values in existing patches in the standard patch pack for 4.11.11911?

Your suggestions for reducing Footer look like a re-hash of GeoffR's standard patches for nickel.yaml
- 'Custom reading footer style' or
- 'Disable reading footer'

Your suggestions for reducing Header look like a re-hash of my standard patches for nickel.yaml
- 'Custom menubar - reduce height by 33%' or
- 'Custom menubar - reduce height by 50%'

Since the introduction of geek1011's new kobopatch yaml system, all users have been free to custom-tweak the values in all standard patches.
