So maybe I'm dumb, but what exactly is the distinction between
Custom collection/author header title font
and Increase headlines font in nickel.yaml?
They sound similar, and the descriptions both link to the same post, https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...9&postcount=42
Do they conflict?

*edit* The reason I ask is because on my Libra, I can't get the headlines to change size. I've now tested with both off, both on, and only "Increase headlines font" on. "BOOKS", "AUTHORS" and "COLLECTIONS" at the top never change size. With "Custom collection/author header title font" on, if I select an author or collection, their name will be larger at the top, but if I go back, again "BOOKS" "AUTHORS" and "COLLECTIONS" are the normal size.

I don't know what the problem is, if there's some conflict with another patch I enabled, or what, but here's my current kobopatch.yaml overrides (with those two both set to 'no', as that's what I was just testing):

Code:

  src/nickel.yaml:
    Show all games: yes
    Reduce top/bottom page spacer: yes
    Custom synopsis details line spacing: yes
    Increase Book Details synopsis area: yes
    Increase library cover size: yes
    Custom collection/author header title font: no
    Reduce new header/footer height: yes
    Increase headlines font: no
    New home screen subtitle custom font: yes
    Remove footer (row3) and increase cover size on new home screen: yes
  src/libadobe.so.yaml:
  src/libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml:
    Always show confirmation dialog before upgrading: yes
    Allow USB storage even when device locked: yes
    Remove recommendations (row1col2) from home screen: yes
    Only show stats SmartLink: yes
    Increase TOC level indentation and fix extra indentation bug: yes
    Don't uppercase header/footer text: yes
    Enable advanced settings for all fonts: yes
    FeatureSettings - BookSpecificStats: yes
    DeveloperSettings - AutoUsbGadget: yes
    PowerSettings - UnlockEnabled: yes
    Set KePub hyphenation: yes
    Don't grab exclusive access to event0: yes
  src/librmsdk.so.1.0.0.yaml:

Images (ignore the Aura in the first two)
1: Both patches on. "BOOKS" "AUTHORS" COLLECTIONS" normal size.
2: Both patches on, went into "Currently Reading' collection, you can see header is larger.
3: "headlines" on and "collection/author" off. "BOOKS" "AUTHORS" COLLECTIONS" normal size.
4: Both patches off. "BOOKS" "AUTHORS" COLLECTIONS" normal size.

Didn't take photo of "collection" on and "headlines" off, but it was as expected.

Basically, "collection/author" works, even if "headlines" is on.
On the other hand, "headlines" never works on my Libra, regardless of "collection/author" setting.

My guess is either something is borked, or there's an unexpected conflict with one of my other patches. I honestly don't have the time to work on it it further tonight (and will be away from home the next few days), but if someone hasn't looked into it by the time I get back I can do some more troubleshooting (like turning off all other patches while testing to isolate potential problem, etc).
