That would only work after a full screen refresh though no?

IE: I have mine set to only refresh after X number of pages (say 10). With this method, pages 1-9 the pixel would still be set.

What we really need is a way to

1) check if currently reading a book (probably could get this from the events but would need to watch the sqlite db then)

2) monitor for frame buffer calls...

If both of those were true, the clock would need to be redrawn.


This is an off the wall question I know but has anyone looked into using the actual Kobo plugins to extend functionality??

Ran across an older github example that shows doing things like hiding the footer, etc utilizing that.
