I've updated the attachment in post #1 to add the `ePub fixed/adjustable top/bottom margins` patch. Here it is if you want to copy and paste rather than download the attachment again:

`ePub fixed/adjustable top/bottom margins` (4.6.9660, libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch)

Spoiler:

Code:

<Patch>
patch_name = `ePub fixed/adjustable top/bottom margins`
patch_enable = `no`
# patch_group = `ePub padding-bottom alternatives`
#
## This patch sets the @page margin sizes in epubs, overriding any @page margin
## set in the book's CSS stylesheet (but not in the XPGT stylesheet, see below).
##
## By default the top and bottom margins are set to be adjustable, their size
## similar to the left/right margin size set by the adjustment slider. There
## are options to set the top and/or bottom margin to a fixed size instead.
##
## Note that @page margins are seperate from (and overlap) both the body margins
## set in the book and the left/right margins set from the adjustment slider,
## and are added to any page margins set in the Adobe XPGT stylesheet if the
## book has one (e.g. page-template.xpgt). For this reason you might want to
## consider using the Modify ePub Calibre plugin to remove any body margins and
## XPGT stylesheet margins before sideloading the book, or perhaps enabling the
## `Ignore ePub Adobe XPGT stylesheet (page-template.xpgt)` patch.
##
## Also note that a side-effect of this patch is that the body padding-bottom is
## removed from the built-in stylesheet, which means that there will no longer
## be a blank line added automatically at the end of chapters.
##
## See at the bottom of the patch for replacement values that can be used to
## tune the size of the margins to suit different devices and reading modes.

#replace_string = 001C, `%\01`, `2\05`

# Optional replacement value: Uncomment for a FIXED BOTTOM MARGIN size in px,

# (Leave commented out for an adjustable bottom margin.)
#replace_string = 0030, `%\01`, `0\00`
#
# Optional replacement value: Uncomment to set the minimum LEFT/RIGHT MARGIN

# set with the adjustment slider, not add to it.) Replacement value is margin
# size, two digits separated by \0
#replace_string = 0026, `0\00`, `1\05`
#
base_address = 000000
# Replacement value: Sets the step-size of the ADJUSTABLE top/bottom margin
# (if any) in quarter-pixels. These suggested values should be very close to
# the 1% step size of the left/right margins set by the slider. Larger values
# will make the top/bottom margins larger than the left/right margins.
# Suggested values:
#   24 (Touch/Mini), 30 (Glo/Aura/Aura2ed), 43 (AuraHD/H2O/GloHD), 56 (Aura One)
replace_int = 4EAB0A, 1, 30
#
# Replacement value: Set this to the size of the device's built-in top margin,
# in pixels. This value is subtracted from the adjustable top/bottom margin
# (if any) to compensate for any unremovable built-in top margin.
# Suggested values are:
#   0 For full-screen reading mode (fullScreenReading=true, all devices)
#  15 for normal reading mode (with custom or disabled footer, all devices)
replace_int = 4EAB16, 1, 0
</Patch>

The `Custom page refresh options` patch is not going to work with this firmware, will have to start from scratch with that one.

GeoffR · 10-06-2017, 10:27 AM

Sorry, I just realised that I had left the following patches enabled by default in nickel.patch:
* `Increasing The View Details Container`
* `New home screen increasing cover size`
* `Reading stats/Author name cut when the series is showing bug fix`
* `Increase size of chaper progress chart in Kepub`
* `Custom font to Collection and Authors names`

I've updated the attachement in post #1, there are now no patches enabled by default.

</Patch>

This patch is on the same CSS stream as the patch `New home screen increasing cover size`, they can not work together they have the same address.

I can add line to my patch if you like.

I tried the patch but batch file did not accept saying there is a replacement error in the first line of text. I think it was because i applied it with `New home screen increasing cover size`together.

Thank you for the warning.

Pdta: And the other thread

Terisa de morgan · 10-06-2017, 04:55 PM

But it doesn't work all the time

The first time after loading the patch, the col dissapear, after you have added a book to that zone and you remove it, the recommendations appear again.

Really? I don't have that issue.

Terisa de morgan · 10-07-2017, 12:47 AM

yes, really, when I add a book and remove it later, the recommendations appear again,

Add the code to stream 106 in the file nickel-modified.css.

Code:

#row1col2 {
  qproperty-visible: false;
}

It will remove the second column in row one.

"FontScaleLarge" in code belong to the new feature in Beta Features, Large Print Mode.

In my device the second column show the author collection of reading book, so I'm not interesting to remove it.

Thank you, I'll try. In my device, I'm not able it to show a collection so I'm stuck with recommendations.

Terisa de morgan · 10-07-2017, 04:21 AM

Tried, I was hopeful because I had forgotten ";" the first time, but it has happened again. Only with row1col2, when the ereader start is ok but, if I increase the list, so that area disappears itself, when I decrease the list the recommendations are there. It looks like it only affects the first time, and it's overriden later.
