Oooh very nifty indeed! Thanks!

Perhaps, what I said earlier was a bit misleading. You can have both patches enabled simultaneously, but the patch Reduce top/bottom page spacer effects are visible when the header and/or footer is disabled.
Ah yes that makes sense. What a shame... the main reason for me to finally update all the way from 4.9.x are the separate header & footer: I want to see pages of total book pages in the footer, and in 4.9.x I regularly checked how many minutes were left in the chapter through the menu, so having that in the header is extremely convenient. The new (for me) navigation tabs are a bonus.

But if I can't get used to the unbalanced text distance from the header/footer I might just have to go back to 4.9.x after all*. Poo. I'll wait to decide until geek1011 decides/judges the two requested patches (Discover tab -> Pocket tab; frontlight ≥ 1%) though. Those could just about convince me to stay (Although I do spend more time reading than on the home screen... hmmm )



*Rather off topic by now, but does anyone know if I can do that safely without resetting first? Sideloading 4.24.x over 4.9.x didn't go too smoothly: the update worked fine, but then I couldn't open the library. Whenever I tried to open it (with or without patches on), the ereader just froze for several minutes and then restarted eventually. (The database was not corrupt, according to Kobo plugin in Calibre.) I had to go back to 4.9.x and properly update via WiFi before it worked.
