Problem solved I disable "patch_name = `Disable KePub FullSceenReading block img style`", i forget i add it.


Other subject, do you know how to increase the time of the page refresh after using the dictionary, it very short and it making my text look grey, or cancel the page refresh after using the dictionary.

I don't really know anything about how the screen refresh works, I spent a bit of time trying to figure it out in the hope of finding a way around the reffesh bug in firmware 3.18.0 but made no progress. However I think the problem you describe has been fixed in firmware 3.18.0, but unfortunately using the dictionary is one of the things that triggers the refresh bug.

Having used 3.13.1, it's time to put this thread to rest as all of you still using this firmware should update to the latest 3.19 version.

[oren64]

I don't agree the 3.13.1 is very solid firmware, less bugs, and i already use to it.

I didn't like 3.15-3.18 firmware because of the bugs, the 3.19 is okay but some of patchs
don't work on it.
Overall i didn't see alot of improvement from 3.13.1 to 3.19, so i stick to 3.13.1 for now.

What don't you like about 3.13.1? One thing that I don't like with 3.13.1 is that it is SLOWER than 3.19.5761.

3.15 rules, 3.19.5761 drools!

3.15 is not as good as 3.19.5761.

These patchs are missing in 3.19.5761.
`Compact homepage layout (Glo only)`
`Remove white borders from homescreen tile book covers`

I didn't like 3.15 because of the ghosting.

You can customize image borders in nickel css:
- /* [MOD]: Removed cover border in small thumbnails (recent and new books) */
- /* [MOD]: Removed cover border in small thumbnails (added to library) */
- /* [MOD]: Removed cover border in most recent book thumbnail */

I have to disagree. 3.19.5761 is better than 3.15. Been there, done that, and moved on because I wanted better and I got it with 3.19.5761.
