That combination is durn near readable.
Understanding, that is another matter, it has been nearly 20 years since I wrote anything in Java.

I agree with you -
Margins are no longer set in the same jar file as older posts indicate.
Unless the 'margin' is now considered part of what they are calling a 'border'.
It could be they changed their terminology.

They have certainly done over-kill on setting the da.. borders in that version.
(Which is what broke Collections Manager until most recently fixed.)

Note:
The Amazon/Lab126 build system re-obfuscates the code with each build, not each firmware version, not each device/firmware pair, each BUILD!
On your 'device info' panel, the 'build' is the number in parans: (build number) following the firmware version.

So when dealing with anything Kindle/Java - please mention the "firmware version - (build number)" being discussed.

Last time I checked, there where about 646 classes -
The margins are set in one of the other 645.

Sorry, that is a non-answer.
Anybody else solved this yet?
