Just FYI, there has never been a top margin Patch, only a bottom margin. In the previous fw, standard epubs only displayed a top margin if the css specified one. Whereas, as far as I know, kepubs have always had one and continue to do so.

Hello,

I have a kobo mini with fw 2.6.2 and I'm not sure whether the patcher is available (Unofficial support for 2.8.1B) or not for this version. I mean, are 2.6.2 and 2.8.1b the same or not?
What's written in the FW sticky about 2.6.2 and 2.8.1b is not totally clear to me...

The CSS in libnickel.so.1.0.0 that we use to change the bottom margin height seems to have disappeared in 2.10.0. Perhaps it is now encrypted?

PeterT · 11-09-2013, 08:08 AM

A lot of the CSS has moved into nickel itself.

ShellShock · 11-09-2013, 08:28 AM

Yes, it has been moved to nickel but I could not find the ReadingFooter in nickel either.

2.6.1, 2.6.1b, 2.6.2, 2.8.1, 2.8.1b are all different firmware, you can't use the patches for one of them on any other one.

I think it is possible to sideload fimware 2.8.1b to the Mini though, and if you did that then you could apply the patches for 2.8.1b. I haven't done this myself though, so you might want to get confirmation that it works from someone who has done it.

I may have to hold off on looking at the Aura if the ReadingFooter cannot be found. I don't want a large gap at the bottom of the screen.

lordofazeroth · 11-09-2013, 05:24 PM

does anybody owning a kobo mini have played with the margins?
Would it possible to post the kpg.conf file, please?

Thanks in Advance

@lordofazeroth: What f/w level?

lordofazeroth · 11-10-2013, 01:35 AM

2.8.1

Nick_1964 · 11-10-2013, 05:08 AM

I Have seen something odd... Changing the font, is also changing the font of the line page 12 of 264 ( example) at the end of the page.
Even when the font in the epub can't be changed by rules in the css file of the epub, the font of that last line does.
When you pic up out a strange font, else then Amasis, It will even get out of the screen.
So how to change, or stop this.. fw 2.8.1

Try defining the font-family in "Custom reading footer style", there is enough place for adding the definition.

Hmm a good one... but how... Amasis is perfect but an intern font.. This is the part of my code:

Code:


replace_zlib = 1205FF4, `ReadingFooter {\n\tmin-height: 70px;\n\tmax-height: 70px;\n\tqproperty-footerMargin: 40;\n}\n\nReadingFooter[deviceCodeName="kraken"], \nReadingFooter[deviceCodeName="phoenix"] {\n\tmin-height: 82px;\n\tmax-height: 82px;\n\tqproperty-footerMargin: 110;\n}\n\nReadingFooter[deviceCodeName="dragon"] {\n\tmin-height: 120px;\n\tmax-height: 120px;\n\tqproperty-footerMargin: 20;\n}\n\n* {\n\tfont-size: 16px;\n}\n\n[deviceCodeName="kraken"], \n[deviceCodeName="phoenix"] {\n\tfont-size: 20px;\n}\n\n[deviceCodeName="dragon"] {\n\tfont-size: 26px;\n}\n\n[localeName="ja_JP"] {\n\tfont-family: A-OTF Gothic MB101 Pr6N;\n}`, `ReadingFooter {\n\tmin-height: 70px;\n\tmax-height: 70px;\n\tqproperty-footerMargin: 40;\n}\n\nReadingFooter[deviceCodeName="kraken"], \nReadingFooter[deviceCodeName="phoenix"] {\n\tmin-height: 40px;\n\tmax-height: 40px;\n\tqproperty-footerMargin: 40;\n}\n\nReadingFooter[deviceCodeName="dragon"] {\n\tmin-height: 70px;\n\tmax-height: 70px;\n\tqproperty-footerMargin: 20;\n}\n\n* {\n\tfont-size: 16px;\n}\n\n[deviceCodeName="kraken"], \n[deviceCodeName="phoenix"] {\n\tfont-size: 20px;\n}\n\n[deviceCodeName="dragon"] {\n\tfont-size: 31px;\n}\n\n[localeName="ja_JP"] {\n\tfont-family: A-OTF Gothic MB101 Pr6N;\n}`

I am just a bit scare to just enter amasis somewhere .

I am just a bit scare to just enter amasis somewhere .

For the sake of brevity and better readability I give only the replacement part (that which follows the comma).

Code:

`ReadingFooter {\n\tmin-height: 70px;\n\tmax-height: 70px;\n\tqproperty-footerMargin: 20;\n}\n\n* {\n\tfont-size: 31px;\n\tfont-family: Amasis;\n}\n\n[localeName="ja_JP"] {\n\tfont-family: A-OTF Gothic MB101 Pr6N;\n}`

I think this should be working. I did however not try myself, since my reader is not on FW 2.8.1.
