So basically: I "just" roughly guess what UI element a section of QSS is affecting, try patching it to see what it does, rinse/repeat? Now if only the QML was also accessible 😅 (I've been building web stuff since 1995. One of my first jobs was doing the embedded web-based UI for ruggedized WiFi routers. Poking through the extracted resources linked above brings back memories. e.g.: resources for multiple devices and partner branded editions all living in the same directory…) |

But yeah, it's mostly trial and error until you develop an intuition for how nickel works. |

Thank you again.

I was very excited about this, turned it on and… doooh. Generic non-semantic styling markup, only at the last child level (no containing block info)… and a terrible mess on the screen making it essentially not something useable for our purposes, sadly. Sigh. 😅 |

As a convert from Amazon Kindle to Libra Colour, I'd be much obliged if the current batch of fw 4.38.xx Kobopatches could be adapted to the Libra Colour fw (4.39.22861).
Perhaps a new branch of the kobopatch yaml files starting with the patches that already work with Libra Colour (with only the patches known to work on Colour), that would be continually updated as the 4.38.xx Libra 2 patches get modified to be compatible with 4.39.xx Colour? (I'm specifically wanting the "Hide Browser from Beta Features" patch from libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml which doesn't seem to work on the Colour). Not complaining though, appreciate the work the devs here put in. Thank you for even considering. Last edited by jaydee34983; 06-19-2024 at 02:51 PM. |

You can follow the progress on GitHub:
https://github.com/pgaskin/kobopatch-patches/issues/128 Kobo made many changes in 4.39 to go with the new devices, not to mention 5.0 that's being used on Tolino devices. The downside of being an early adopter of a new device is that the QoL will not be available at launch. |

I've been unusually busy recently; I hope to get some time to finish it on the weekend. |
