ReplaceZlib: new compressed data is 9 bytes longer than old data

[p0k3m0n]

I'm going to slightly modify a certain string in src/nickel.yaml but something doesn't fit:

Original:

        - Find:    "#tabContainer > N3TabItem[qApp_deviceIsPhoenix=true] {\n  font-size: 20px;\n}"
          Replace: "#tabContainer > N3TabItem[qApp_deviceIsPhoenix=true] {\n  font-size: 36px;\n}"

My:

        - Find:    "#tabContainer > N3TabItem[qApp_deviceIsPhoenix=true] {\n  font-size: 20px;\n}"
          Replace: "#tabContainer > N3TabItem[qApp_deviceIsPhoenix=true] {\n  font-size: 15px;\n  font-family: Georgia;\n  text-transform: uppercase;\n}"

Is it possible to fix?

Well... try

My:

        - Find:    "#tabContainer > N3TabItem[qApp_deviceIsPhoenix=true] {\n  font-size: 20px;\n}"
          Replace: "#tabContainer > N3TabItem[qApp_deviceIsPhoenix=true] {font-size: 15px;font-family: Georgia;text-transform: uppercase;\n}"

You're adding way more text than was there originally. It isn't going to fit.

Compliation works only with values 8px and 28px. What the...

BTW: is it possible to change fonts in reading footer, I mean the box under the progress bar with the title of the book in reading mode?

It's cleaner if you don't try to combine your font-family/text-transform CSS with the the font-size change. So edit your custom patch to split the changes by including these lines:

          # Glo/Aura/Aura2E/Nia
        - Find:    "#tabContainer > N3TabItem[qApp_deviceIsPhoenix=true] {\n  font-size: 20px;\n}"
          Replace: "#tabContainer > N3TabItem[qApp_deviceIsPhoenix=true] {\n  font-size: 15px;\n}"
          
          # change font-family/case for all pre-2024 models  
        - Find:    "font-family: Avenir;"
          Replace: "font-family:Georgia;text-transform:uppercase;"

If the above still gives a "too long" error message for patch Increase headlines font you can use the following technique to fix it - "steal" some extra space from default code which your Kobo will never use.

I usually use some of the nearby code from the same patched resource (qss/N3TabWidget.qss in this case) targeting only devices set to Japanese and/or a Chinese locale. This doesn't cause a problem because my Kobo locale is always set to English.

You don't say which locale your Kobo is using but if it isn't any of the 3 Chinese locales then you can add one or more of the following localeName lines until kobopatch no longer gives an error for your custom patch.

          # make some space
        - {Find: "#tabContainer > N3TabItem[localeName=\"zh\"] {\n  font-family: Sans-SerifZH-Simplified, sans-serif;\n  font-style: normal;\n}\n", Replace: "\n"}
        - {Find: "#tabContainer > N3TabItem[localeName=\"zh-HK\"] {\n  font-family: Sans-SerifZH-Traditional, sans-serif;\n  font-style: normal;\n}\n", Replace: "\n"}
        - {Find: "#tabContainer > N3TabItem[localeName=\"zh-TW\"] {\n  font-family: Sans-SerifZH-Traditional, sans-serif;\n  font-style: normal;\n}\n", Replace: "\n"}

Very smart solution. It works! GG!
