Is it possible to adjust anything to do with the progress bar? It appears that in the last year Kobo has expanded the bar to span the entire width of the screen, which I like, but I would LOVE to be able to move the bar to the very bottom of the screen. The white space gap just looks awkward to me. It would also be amazing to be able to change the thickness and color of the line.
So, wondering if these things can possibly be adjusted:
1) Progress bar vertical position. Moving it 12 pixels down would have it rest at the bottom of the screen.
2) Line thickness of "read" and "unread" bars.
3) Color of "read" and "unread" bars.
Adjusting these things could really refine the look of the progress bar, making it appear more sleek and less "clunky" (to my eyes). I have attached screenshots of various mockups to fit my Clara screen, and I when I view them on my device, I feel these would be amazing upgrades to the look of the progress bar.
If it's at all possible to tweak these things through a patch, let me know. And if no one is wanting to work on it, I would even consider getting into coding, JUST to figure this out!
Thank you to anyone who has any input regarding the feasibility of this.
