Verse Pro Color: Can the main menu (recent books) layout be changed?

Ridcully · 10-18-2025, 02:38 PM

In case I got the name wrong, I'm talking about the screen it boots to, where you see covers of your most recent books and a row of recommendations below. After turning off recommendations, there's 1 cover on the left half of the screen and 3 on the right one.

That just seems like a terrible use of space. When I swipe over to the next two pages, there are about 15 covers in a grid per page, which is tops

I would love to have 15 covers on the first page of the main menu too

but I'll settle for any improvement. (I'm using Library too and have dedicated a physical button to it, but I can't figure out how to make it order books the same way as the main menu.)

Are you looking for a combination of your recently added and your recently opened books?

Yeah, that's it, I have to first open every recently added book to get it to show up in my library list.

Plus, the 3x5 cover view on the other pages of the main menu is perfect. Library's cover view makes the covers far too big and you can't turn off grouping by date (so, for example, I'm only seeing two covers right now). The list view is OK, but it's a little annoying to use it and knowing the 3x5 cover view exists on the main menu
