			On other thing I am trying to accomplish: I found this thread for cleaning up the info panel when the device is asleep or powered off and using a custom screensaver: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...7#post=3220397 I have been struggling to translate this into something that the yaml files can understand. I attempted this: Code: Changing the info panel in full size screensaver:

 Having said that, when I read your replies I mostly just feel bad for the project I'm working on, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't keep implying my approach is wrong. If you have ideas for how I can help my elderly veteran friend that aren't "this person is stupid" or how if your mother can do it then everyone else should be able to, as well, I'm eager to listen. | |

 The CSS resource that needs to be patched to change the look of the full-sized sleep screen is FullScreenDragonPowerView.qss. It's current content in fw 4.25 is: Spoiler: 
 This is a personal (i.e. not published in standard kobopatch pack) patch of mine. It probably doesn't meet your needs but perhaps there's enough to get your experiments started. Spoiler:

			Hmm, so when I put that into libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml and enable it, the .bat file won't complete and so there is no .tgz file created. I looked at the log file and found this: Code: kobopatch.FindZlib index=3 line=1182
          |         FindZlib("#infoFrame") | hex:23696e666f4672616d65
          |         could not apply patch "jackie_w Screensaver full": line 1182: inst 3: FindZlib: could not find string

 Since then Kobo have consolidated much of the GUI-related CSS stuff into nickel. A few small CSS streams still remain in libnickel.so.1.0.0, e.g. the one controlling the style of text content in the dictionary widget(s). Don't ask me to explain the rationale, because I can't.  TL, DNR: I should have been more explicit.   | |

			@jackie_w do you know if the My Books a the bottom line of the home screen can have something else done with it? Since we have two of them, it would make sense if something else can be done with it.

 Speaking with zero "Kobo insider" knowledge, I do wonder whether the fact that 'My Books' and 'Kobo Store' are now present in both Navbuttons and the Home 3x2 grid means that Kobo are due to review the whole Home screen layout situation again. Cue the MR hyperbole if/when they do.   | |

			Got it, thanks for saving me the trouble. I wonder, is it instead possible to restore the older screensaver screen? The one with "Sleeping" etc at the top of the screen, and "X% read • Expires in Y days" etc at the bottom.

			Do you mean the 'not-fullscreen screensaver'? If so, that's just a standard checkbox in Settings>Energy saving and privacy
