I too would like to stop the UPPERCASING of the header and footer. Thanks.

Try this:

Code:

Make book header/footer lowercase:
  - Enabled: no
  - PatchGroup: Header/footer page number text
  # In ReadingView::getChapterTitle (header), NOP QString::toUpper call:
  - ReplaceBytesNOP: {Offset: 0xA366EC, FindBLX: 0x440474}
  # In ReadingView::updateFooter, NOP QString::toUpper call:
  - ReplaceBytesNOP: {Offset: 0xA39C36, FindBLX: 0x440474}
  # Page number text
  - FindReplaceString: {Find: "%1 OF %2", Replace: "%1 of %2"}

Note that it will conflict with "Custom header/footer page number text". If this works, I'll add it to the patches for v53.

I tried this patch. It's not working. It's causing my H2O to reboot when I select an ePub eBook.

Thanks again to Geek1011, Jackie_W and others for these patches. They really make my Forma the reader of choice.

Just tried this latest patch (changing uppercase for new header/footer) on my Forma and, for me, it didn't work. I put the patch into libnickel and KoboRoot.tgz generated just fine, but once applied to my Forma (and rebooted), I couldn't open any titles. Tapping on one just started the reboot process.

Restored to my prior .tgz and all works again. Did not have the change page numbering patch enabled.

EDIT: See JSWolf got there first!

EDIT2: Geek1011, I presume when you are trying to change to Lowercase you mean a mixture -- so that each word has an initial cap? So that what is now "THE BOOK" becomes "The Book" and not "the book"? The initial cap approach would certainly be my preference.

Oops, forgot to move the string to the right register and prevent the destructor from breaking things. Try this:

Code:

Make book header/footer lowercase:
  - Enabled: no
  - PatchGroup: Header/footer page number text
  # In ReadingView::getChapterTitle (header), replace QString::toUpper call with
  # QString::trimmed (to copy the string, and not need to add a mov instruction
  # and NOP the destructor):
  - ReplaceBLX: {Offset: 0xA366EC, Find: 0x440474, Replace: 0x451410}
  # In ReadingView::updateFooter, do the same:
  - ReplaceBLX: {Offset: 0xA39C36, Find: 0x440474, Replace: 0x451410}
  # Page number text
  - FindReplaceString: {Find: "%1 OF %2", Replace: "%1 of %2"}

This time it won't even finish patching. I put it in libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml. Here is the log.

Looks like it. And thanks for the info about _custom.

Now to test it.

The patch to make the header/footer lowercase works. The only thing I can say is that some will find the font size too small and may want it larger. Can that be done?

I can confirm that this patch for changing UPPER CASE to Upper Case works well. Thanks Geek1011! Will patiently await Jackie's patch to increase/change font (which, I think, is needed still).

and checked your new thread. I'm happy with the set of characters but I would like the patch for increasing the header/footer font to the size of a cricket leg instead of a fly leg, as it's now

You should be able to set it to the size of an elephant leg if you like - provided you haven't reduced the height of the header/footers so much that elephants no longer fit

The header/footer height are untouched, so, how do I change the size?

What I would like is to up the size and remove the extra space between the footer the and text.
