Hi everyone,

This is one feature I miss from the stock Kobo firmware, the ability to see the percentage read on the screen while the device is asleep. I know I can see the book status but it's not quite the same.

Anyway, I did a bit of digging and managed to modify screensaver.lua so that it appends the string " (93% read)" to the default screensaver text if screensaver_message is not set, and it works pretty well. It's a bit of a hack as you have to edit settings.reader.lua and delete the screensaver_message entry but it works as a proof of concept.

I'm just wondering if the powers that be think that this might be something worth adding in more properly? Maybe as a checkbox in the settings dialog? Or else maybe have a special identifier (like %p) that you can put in your screensaver text that gets substituted with progress percentage? I'm quite happy to poke around a bit more and have a go at it myself but I don't really know what the process is and don't want to tread on anyone's toes.

Cheers,

james
