Screensaver Patching Question
Hi, is there a way to patch the screensaver text of "Sleeping'' and "Powered Off'' to be smaller and use a different font?

The last thing Jackie did. There didn't seem to be any more patches. Are you interested in this patch?

Thank you for directing me to it.

I am very much interested in patching the screensaver screen.

jackie's patch seems to disable the info panel while sleeping. Can it still be visible but with smaller footprints like when it is powered off?

Can this be used as is on Libra 2?

I haven't tested it, but I think a fix is needed for Libra.

Replace part of the patch.

Spoiler:
Code:
 # #infoWidget reduce width
        - {Find: "width: 470px;", Replace: "width: 320px;"} #Dragon
        - {Find: "width: 611px;", Replace: "width: 390px;"} #Daylight
        # #infoWidget, #infoFrame: reduce top/bottom/right margins
        - {Find: "Margin: 22px;", Replace: "Margin: 5px;"}  #Dragon
        - {Find: "Margin: 28px;", Replace: "Margin: 7px;"}  #Daylight
        - {Find: "Margin: 25px;", Replace: "Margin: 6px;"}  #Storm
        # #infoFrame: remove Sleeping borders
        - {Find: "#infoFrame {\n  border-top: 1px solid black;\n  border-bottom: 1px solid black;\n  border-right: 1px solid black;\n}\n", Replace: "\n"}
        # #infoFrame: reduce left margin

        # #infoWidget size reduced to zero when Sleeping
        - Find:    "#batteryStatus {\n  font-family: Georgia;\n}"
          Replace: "#infoWidget[powerOffView=false] {\n  min-width:0px; max-width:0px;\n  min-height:0px; max-height:0px;\n  qproperty-topMargin:0px; qproperty-bottomMargin:0px;\n  qproperty-leftMargin:0px; qproperty-rightMargin:0px;\n}\n#batteryStatus {font-family:Georgia;}"

When you check, take screenshots - before and after. So that there is a sample for other users how it works.

It's not a common issue and I haven't seen it happen since the early Metazoa patches. Even then, a factory reset would let you unbrick your Kobo.

I haven't tested it because I'm just too lazy and don't need to.

Patch works but info panel is not showing during sleeping mode.

Is there a way to make it visible while sleeping?

Image 1 is without the patch.

Image 2 is patched.

It is enabled: "Show info panel on full screen cover" is ticked/enabled.


maybe this line of code removes it:

Code:
# #infoWidget size reduced to zero when Sleeping
        - Find:    "#batteryStatus {\n  font-family: Georgia;\n}"
          Replace: "#infoWidget[powerOffView=false] {\n  min-width:0px; max-width:0px;\n  min-height:0px; max-height:0px;\n  qproperty-topMargin:0px; qproperty-bottomMargin:0px;\n  qproperty-leftMargin:0px; qproperty-rightMargin:0px;\n}\n#batteryStatus {font-family:Georgia;}"
I will remove it and see if it shows


Edit: removing the above codes did it.

Thank you, Semwise, DNSB and of course, jackie_w.

I am happy now.

THOUGH: I am thinking if the background of the SLEEPING panel can be as transluscent as the powered off panel.

Try to fix this line
Code:
- {Find: "width: 470px;", Replace: "width: 320px;"} #Dragon
Increase the number marked in red (330 for example or 350 do)
This is for the transluscency of the info panel background?

aren't those figures/numbers for the width size?
