I know on the forma even without the patch waking from the sleep cover never shows the slide to unlock. The Slide to unlock was ONLY with the power button.
EDIT: Re-read your post... you are looking for the opposite functionality. you want it to ALWAYS show the slide to unlock. The current patch is to just patch out the "If power button, slide to unlock" which also can be set from a config file preference.
The KA1's standard firmware has not the feature, the patch enables it when the power button is pressed. I don't think I'm asking for the opposite, just to "extend" it, to prevent unwanted power on events.

So what exactly are you asking for here?

Also the text "30 mins" is present both in find and replace, so I increased the offset, otherwise if shows the sequence 10, 20, 1 hour, 30, 2, 4.
Dictionary, remove long winded closest match notification If the argument %1 is not used, %2 still get the first value.
OK, I'll take a look. Thanks. Also, note that you can submit these kinds of changes directly on GitHub by browsing to the file and pressing edit, then opening a pull request. It's easier to keep track of that way.

1) Default sort order to "series" - I've played around with a few settings in the config file but it still always defaults to "recent" instead. I believe I tracked down where it's set and might make a patch for it but hoped there'd be a setting for it.
2) Default "Home" to go to "My Books" or "Collection". Either that or re-sort the menus so those are at the top.
3) Shrink Header/Footer height. Both my wife and I like to see it but having it be 3-4 columns high when there's only 1 column of information... At first glance it looks like the height of these is set so when the menu's show it's not covering the book so not sure if that one is possible.
4) Ability to customize the footer/header information. I like the footer to show pages left in the chapter but I miss the % read showing as well (like on the kindle). Be nice to be able to add more options to show on the footer.
1) I'll take a look.
2) That may be possible. It depends on how the code is structured.
3) There's a few patches for that. I use "Custom reading footer style" (footer size), "Set reading footer height" (footer menu size), "Custom menubar - reduce height by 33%" (header menu size), and "Reduce top/bottom page spacer" (header/footer size) for this.
4) I am planning on a patch to add a clock (but it's a bit above my skill level, so I'm learning when I have time).
P.S. I'm starting on updating the patches later tonight.
My desire is to have to swipe to unlock even when I open the cover. I'm aware that it's just a workaround for my cool but slightly buggy flexible cover...

I'll do it.
Thank you again and keep up the great work!
I'd like to request a patch to completely disable hyphenation. From what I've searched on the forums, a way to do that would be to use an older patch here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=266005 and then replace the user-accessible hyph_en.dic with a blank file. While I can use this patch separate from kobopatch, it too gets overridden with firmware updates and it'd be nice to be able to disable hyphenation as part of reapplying patches via kobopatch.

kobopatch.yaml already has a "copy files" option. What happens if you create a zero-length hyph_en.dic file and copy that as part of your standard procedure?
This is a variant of `font-size bulk change` (`Custom font-size nozlib` + `Custom font-size zlib`). Don't use any of those with this.
This is only for those brave who want to change font-family and/or the font-size without bother on the look. # KNOWN ISSUES:
If you use any patch which alter the font-family and/or font-size you are in troubles with this: Changing the info panel in full size screensaver- beta 1
Custom font to collection and author titles
Increase headlines font
New home screen subtitle custom font
or you'd increase it twice if you activate: Reading footer alternatives
Custom synopsis/font size nickel
Font-family and font-size bulk change (part 2 of 2):
- Enabled: no
- Description: |
Based on tshering's BAD EYES
source: tshering/KBPatcher17_4.4.9995/4_plus_source/nickel
BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHANGE THE LENGTH OF THE REPLACEMENT STRING!
If a replacement string is too long or short you will get an error when making the patch.
- FindReplaceString:
Find: " Avenir;\n}\n\n"
# When editing the replacement values below,
# BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHANGE THE LENGTH OF THE REPLACEMENT STRING!
Replace: "\"Gill Sans\"}"
MustMatchLength: yes
- FindReplaceString:
Find: "Sans-SerifJP"
# When editing the replacement values below,
# BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHANGE THE LENGTH OF THE REPLACEMENT STRING!
Replace: "\"Gill Sans\" "
MustMatchLength: yes
# When editing the replacement values below,
# BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHANGE THE LENGTH OF THE REPLACEMENT STRING!
- FindReplaceString: {Find: "font-size: 20px", Replace: "font-size: 24px", MustMatchLength: yes}
Good luck.
Does this still work for FW 4.14.12777? Can I replace the system font with the font I want? Thanks!
config file: nickel.yaml
part: Only Reading and My Books
description:
it works great (I mean GREAT), but has one little aesthetic problem. Bottom bar, with "My Books" on home screen is fixed on 3 books and only 3 books. It looks strange, with big spaces between displayed covers. Can You increase number of displayed covers to 6 or more?

No. This is not possible. The last time I checked, there was a lot of hard-coded stuff for displaying 3 books. Also, even if it was possible, it would take too much time to be worth doing. Although, one thing I might be able to do, if you are interested, is change where the rotating bottom-right tile's books come from.

Understand. Thank You for information! And again Kobo over-complicate simple things.
Huh.. The majority of closed source software is not designed to be patched or modified. Why single out Kobo?
Also, Kobo is significantly better in this aspect than other companies. They don't statically link their binaries, neither do they lock down the update/downgrade process or block old versions from connecting. Their devices are also quite easy to open.

I'm guessing the answer is no, but is it possible to make the home screen show more than four 'currently reading' books?
Betting it's right there with the 'My Books' thing but I've long been a believer that the only sure way to get a 'no' is not to ask.
Probably not. Although I can easily make it give the widget more than 4 books, it only has the layout code for 4 of them. It would be too much work to make it display more.
