New version to patch `Chapers progress increasing size in Kepub`.

jackie_w · 05-14-2017, 05:54 PM

This is a patch which will allow you to customise the appearance of the text in the dictionary pop-up widget and full-screen dictionary page. It can be found in kobopatch's libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml file.

You can customise one or more of the following:

font-family (choose any font on your device, built-in or sideloaded)
font-size
line-height

As far as I can tell (trial and error) these are the current unpatched Kobo defaults:

Code:

         font-family    font-size   line-height
         -----------    ---------   -----------
    Glo: Georgia        23px        1.4em
    H2O: Georgia        29px        1.4em
  GloHD: Georgia        32px        1.4em
AuraONE: Georgia        42px        1.4em

... so work out your new custom font-size/line-height settings using these as a guideline.

The first 3 screenshots date from firmware 4.4.9298 when the patch was new:

unpatched KA1 [**]
patched KA1: font-family: "Gill Sans", font-size: 38px, line-height: 1.1em
patched KA1: font-family: Bookerly, font-size: 45px, line-height: 1.4em

[**] Let me rephrase that. By 'unpatched' I mean before this particular patch was enabled. My other dictionary patch `Dictionary pop-up - increase available text area` (in nickel.yaml) is already enabled in all 3 of the screenshots. The 2 dictionary patches are not dependent on each other. Enable either, both or neither as you wish.

Note:
If you own several different Kobo models it is unlikely that you will be able to find one custom font-size which will look good on all your devices so you may need to run the patch process multiple times with a different settings.

Update for firmware 4.17.13694

This update should benefit those who have also installed some of the many custom dictionaries posted elsewhere in the Kobo forum.

Custom dictionaries often appear to have many blank lines. The aim of this update is to remove some of that excess whitespace in both pop-up and full-screen dictionary widgets.

This update will not adversely affect patch users who only use Kobo's built-in dictionaries. Patch customisation looks pretty much the same as ever.

The last 3 attached screenshots are taken from firmware 4.17.13694.
Each shows both the pop-up and full-screen widgets for a custom dictionary [Oxford English]

4. unpatched KA1
5. patched Forma: WITHOUT customisation of font-family/font-size/line-height
6. patched Forma: WITH customisation. font-family: Arial, font-size: 32px, line-height: 1.30em

Screenshots 4-6 do NOT have my 2nd dictionary patch enabled, Dictionary pop-up - increase available text area.

Enabling this 2nd patch would also reduce the header and left/right margins inside the pop-up widget reclaiming a little more room for the dictionary definition

Unfortunately, due to Kobo changes, the 2nd patch can no longer increase the box-size of the pop-up widget nor reduce the height of the 'Page x of y' footer.

Here are some keyboard patches for the Glo, they should also change the keys on other devices but I'm not sure whether they will be arranged in the right order.

Hopefully others can confirm whether it suits other devices too, or else work off the notes in this example to create new patches for those devices.

`Cyrillic keyboard` (paste into libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch):

## until after the first book has been opened.

## Also note that long-pressing keys on the base keypad will no longer show
## the appropriate list of Extended Latin keys.

Edit: GeoffR I didn't see you add the Hebrew Keyboard.
Hebrew Keyboard I post is more closer to the real Hebrew Keyboard, it have the characters that are missing in your keyboard like comma and quotation marks.

Thanks oren64, I'll use your one. Just note that you can comment out the code that enables uppercase and make it into a multi-version patch:

Code:

# Enable uppercase for `ß` key
#replace_bytes = 708434, 00 26, 01 26

GeoffR · 05-15-2017, 07:40 AM

Here are template patches for the three different keyboard layouts. I am assuming the layouts haven't changed, so let me know if they have.

To create a keyboard patch just replace the right-most value in each of the replace_string lines. Only 1- or 2-byte characters can be used, so keyboards for some languages are not possible.

Layout for Mini/Touch/Glo/Aura:

Code:

æ œ þ š ž ŀ ƒ μ ª º
à è ì ò ù á é í ó ú ý
â ê î ô û ä ë ï ö ü ÿ
  ã ñ õ å ß ç đ ø ĳ ł

Great patch, Jackie! I always wanted to have a larger font in the dictionary.
I'd post a screenshot of my GloHD if I just knew how.

Which patches are not in the zip file in post #1? Thanks.

I do in this way:
in .kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf search for

Code:

[FeatureSettings]
Screenshots=false

change to true
disconnect
take the screenshot with ON key
Don't forget to change to false when you done.

Good luck!

Hi, is it possible to remove the header (which report the book's title) and let the footer remain?
Thanks

jackie_w Grand Sorcerer Posts: 6,267 Karma: 16544702 Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: UK Device: ClaraHD, Forma, Libra2, Clara2E, LibraCol, PBTouchHD3	Patch: `Dictionary text font-family/font-size/line-height This is a patch which will allow you to customise the appearance of the text in the dictionary pop-up widget and full-screen dictionary page. It can be found in kobopatch's libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml file. You can customise one or more of the following: font-family (choose any font on your device, built-in or sideloaded) font-size line-height As far as I can tell (trial and error) these are the current unpatched Kobo defaults: Code: font-family font-size line-height ----------- --------- ----------- Glo: Georgia 23px 1.4em H2O: Georgia 29px 1.4em GloHD: Georgia 32px 1.4em AuraONE: Georgia 42px 1.4em ... so work out your new custom font-size/line-height settings using these as a guideline. The first 3 screenshots date from firmware 4.4.9298 when the patch was new: unpatched KA1 [] patched KA1: font-family: "Gill Sans", font-size: 38px, line-height: 1.1em patched KA1: font-family: Bookerly, font-size: 45px, line-height: 1.4em [] Let me rephrase that. By 'unpatched' I mean before this particular patch was enabled. My other dictionary patch `Dictionary pop-up - increase available text area` (in nickel.yaml) is already enabled in all 3 of the screenshots. The 2 dictionary patches are not dependent on each other. Enable either, both or neither as you wish. Note: If you own several different Kobo models it is unlikely that you will be able to find one custom font-size which will look good on all your devices so you may need to run the patch process multiple times with a different settings. Update for firmware 4.17.13694 This update should benefit those who have also installed some of the many custom dictionaries posted elsewhere in the Kobo forum. Custom dictionaries often appear to have many blank lines. The aim of this update is to remove some of that excess whitespace in both pop-up and full-screen dictionary widgets. This update will not adversely affect patch users who only use Kobo's built-in dictionaries. Patch customisation looks pretty much the same as ever. The last 3 attached screenshots are taken from firmware 4.17.13694. Each shows both the pop-up and full-screen widgets for a custom dictionary [Oxford English] 4. unpatched KA1 5. patched Forma: WITHOUT customisation of font-family/font-size/line-height 6. patched Forma: WITH customisation. font-family: Arial, font-size: 32px, line-height: 1.30em Screenshots 4-6 do NOT have my 2nd dictionary patch enabled, Dictionary pop-up - increase available text area. Enabling this 2nd patch would also reduce the header and left/right margins inside the pop-up widget reclaiming a little more room for the dictionary definition Unfortunately, due to Kobo changes, the 2nd patch can no longer increase the box-size of the pop-up widget nor reduce the height of the 'Page x of y' footer.
