Could someone help me out. I just got a Clara 2E and want to use the custom font sizes patch. I don't need the real small sizes, or the real big sizes. This is what I did:

Custom font sizes:
  - Enabled: yes
  - Description: |
      Changes the range of sizes on the font size slider so that there are more of
      the small sizes and fewer of the large sizes.
      With this patch enabled you will not be able to select the very large font
      sizes, but will be able to make finer adjustment to the smaller sizes.
  # Font sizes depend on the device's screen density. Unpatched, the sizes
  # increase in steps of 1 from the smallest size up to size 44, then in steps
  # of 2 up to size 68, then in steps of 4 up to the largest size:
  #
  #                     Touch/Mini:    8px -  90px  (39 steps)
  #          AuraHD/AuraH2O/Libra2:    8px - 150px  (54 steps)
  #                  GloHD/ClaraHD:   10px - 150px  (52 steps)
  #                       LibraH2O:   11px - 150px  (51 steps)
  #      AuraOne/Forma/Elipsa/Sage:   14px - 195px  (59 steps)
  #                   Aura/Glo/Nia:    8px - 122px  (47 steps)
  #
  # The example replacement values in this patch result in the following ranges,
  # with increases in steps of 1 from the smallest size up to size 44, then
  # steps of 2 up to size 68, then steps of 4 up to the largest size:
  #
  #                     Touch/Mini:    8px -  80px  (52 steps)
  #          AuraHD/AuraH2O/Libra2:    8px - 108px  (59 steps)
  #                  GloHD/ClaraHD:   10px - 108px  (57 steps)
  #                       LibraH2O:   11px - 108px  (56 steps)
  #      AuraOne/Forma/Elipsa/Sage:   14px - 132px  (59 steps)
  #                   Aura/Glo/Nia:    8px -  88px  (54 steps)
  #
  # Note (pgaskin): The device values can be determined with info from
  #    https://gist.github.com/pgaskin/613b...c50ee32f5e167e and
  #    the Device::is* calls.
  #
  # This patch was rewritten for 18220 by @shermp.
  #
  - BaseAddress: "N3FontTypeUtil::fontSizes()"
  # Initial font size:
  #- ReplaceInt: {Offset:  378, Find:   8, Replace:   8} # Other devices
  #- ReplaceInt: {Offset:  374, Find:  11, Replace:  11} # LibraH2O (storm)
  - ReplaceInt: {Offset:   36, Find:  10, Replace:  35} # GloHD/ClaraHD (alyssum nova)
  #- ReplaceInt: {Offset:  404, Find:  14, Replace:  14} # Forma/AuraOne/Sage/Elipsa (daylight)
  # Increment:
  - ReplaceInt: {Offset:  222, Find:  21, Replace:  73} # Add font sizes in increments of 1 until this size exceeded
  - ReplaceInt: {Offset:  228, Find:  22, Replace:  74} # Continue from this font size
  - ReplaceInt: {Offset:  250, Find:  49, Replace:  97} # Add font sizes in increments of 2 until this size exceeded
  - ReplaceInt: {Offset:  256, Find:  50, Replace:  98} # Continue from this font size
  # Now increment by +4 until final font size:
  #- ReplaceInt: {Offset:  420, Find:   90, Replace:   80} # Other devices
  #- ReplaceInt: {Offset:  422, Find:  150, Replace:   88} # Aura/Glo/Nia (phoenix)
  - ReplaceInt: {Offset:   48, Find:  150, Replace:  108} # LibraH2O/AuraHD/ClaraHD/GloHD/AuraH2O/Libra2 (dragon)
  #- ReplaceInt: {Offset:  400, Find:  195, Replace:  132} # Forma/AuraOne/Sage/Elipsa (daylight)

And it doesn't work: I get one or two smaller sizes at the beginning, and then it jumps to a large size.

I used this in the past for a Glo HD:

Custom font sizes:
  - Enabled: yes
  - Description: |
      Changes the range of sizes on the font size slider so that there are more of
      the small sizes and fewer of the large sizes.
      With this patch enabled you will not be able to select the very large font
      sizes, but will be able to make finer adjustment to the smaller sizes.

    #  AuraOne/Forma: 18px - 194px (55 sizes)
    #  GloHD/ClaraHD: 14px - 150px (48 sizes)

Thank you for the help.

I just tried some experimental values of my own (although I've been happy using the default patch for my Clara HD and 2E). Similar problem to yours. My starting value was 42. Maybe that value can't be too high? Dunno.

[Phil_C]

I adjusted the replacement values for the Claras to 10,43,44,87,88,108. Yes, I left the lower numbers as default, but adjusted the rest to give me finer control over the range of font sizes I might use. Works perfectly. I don't need the many tiny sizes, but can just ignore them.

[John F]

Thank you Phil_C. Your suggestion led me to use these values:

 # Initial font size:
  #- ReplaceInt: {Offset:  378, Find:   8, Replace:   8} # Other devices
  #- ReplaceInt: {Offset:  374, Find:  11, Replace:  11} # LibraH2O (storm)
  - ReplaceInt: {Offset:   36, Find:  10, Replace:  10} # GloHD/ClaraHD (alyssum nova)
  #- ReplaceInt: {Offset:  404, Find:  14, Replace:  14} # Forma/AuraOne/Sage/Elipsa (daylight)
  # Increment:
  - ReplaceInt: {Offset:  222, Find:  21, Replace:  108} # Add font sizes in increments of 1 until this size exceeded
  - ReplaceInt: {Offset:  228, Find:  22, Replace:  110} # Continue from this font size
  - ReplaceInt: {Offset:  250, Find:  49, Replace:  108} # Add font sizes in increments of 2 until this size exceeded
  - ReplaceInt: {Offset:  256, Find:  50, Replace:  110} # Continue from this font size
  # Now increment by +4 until final font size:
  #- ReplaceInt: {Offset:  420, Find:   90, Replace:   80} # Other devices
  #- ReplaceInt: {Offset:  422, Find:  150, Replace:   88} # Aura/Glo/Nia (phoenix)
  - ReplaceInt: {Offset:   48, Find:  150, Replace:  150} # LibraH2O/AuraHD/ClaraHD/GloHD/AuraH2O/Libra2 (dragon)
  #- ReplaceInt: {Offset:  400, Find:  195, Replace:  132} # Forma/AuraOne/Sage/Elipsa (daylight)

I still get a bunch of too small font sizes, but I now get more mid size choices.

Wow! So you have 98 increments of 1. The font size slider must hardly move at all when you press the left or right arrows. I wondered if there was a limit to the total number of steps. But since it works for you, I may try similar numbers. I like more choices in the 56-76 range, which this would give me.

[Phil_C]

After some final experimentation, I found that the starting size of 10 can be replaced with 20. I did not try 21, but 22 did not work. Anyway, a few more tiny sizes can be eliminated this way.

My final numbers for the Clara HD and Clara 2E are 20,81,82,95,96,108. In case anyone is interested.

I wonder if it would be possible for the Kobo dropdown list of three books (swipe down from top while reading) which was recently introduced to be increased to a more useful (to me) figure of say ten books?
Apart from the fact that recently added books go straight on the list and wipe off what I was really reading, it doesn't tale much darting about in my library to render the three not very useful

Considering the amount of the screen used by 3 books, 6 books would fill the entire screen. Perhaps going to the Books screen with a filter of reading would be more useful for your purposes.

Thank you, an ill-considered request.

I would have liked more items in the list as well but that way the books are displayed pretty much precludes that. Now if Kobo filtered the dropdown list to reading, it would be more useful.

Btw, I hadn't even noticed that filter, which as you point out does exactly what I wanted. Thank you

[John F]

In My Books, in the Authors tab, could we please have a patch to only show authors for downloaded books?

Thank you

[John F]

In My Books, In the Series tab, can we have a patch to only show Series for downloaded books?

Thank you.
