				Disable bottom 'touch' panel, but enable top panel?
			 
			
			
			In KOReader (at least on my jailbroken Kindle) we have a 'top' panel/bar and a 'bottom' bar/panel that can be activated either by touch or swipe. When I have a swipe option enabled then the bottom part works good, because it doesn't activate itself when I'm turning pages (because I'm turning them by 'touching/tapping' at the bottom of my Kindle). However, I'd like to have the top status/bar/panel to activate by touching/tapping on it instead of swiping (like in the default Kindle reader). Is it possible to have the bottom panel not activating while tapping/touching to change the page while having the top one revealing/showing while touching at the center instead of swiping from up to down?

			Not sure I really got what you want. But I disabled auto-show bottom menu: Top menu > Settings (gear) > Tap and Gestures> Activate Menu 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	I could still get the Top Menu by tapping the top area Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk  |

			No, that's not what I mean. I want the top menu to show after clicking (and then I don't care if the bottom one show or not), but I don't want the bottom menu to show when I click on the bottom on the Kindle to turn the page.

			You can achieve this via a user patch. Create a folder 'patches' in koreader (if it doesn't exist yet), and a file named '2-ignorebottommenutap.lua' (i.e., koreader/patches/2-ignorebottommenutap.lua) with the following contents: 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Code: 
	local ReaderConfig = require("apps/reader/modules/readerconfig")
function ReaderConfig:onTapShowConfigMenu()
    if self.activation_menu ~= "swipe" then return end
end
