Strictly it never did. The inverted screen was never supported. But, as I said, Dark mode can be used via a config file option. There is discussion about it in other threads.
Well, it clearly did have an option. Indeed mine still does.

So is dark mode supported on the Aura One? I was unclear from your sentence:
Quote:
"Dark Mode" was added for the Elipsa and can be enabled with a config file option.
whether this was just added for the Elipsa, or was added for all devices when the Elipsa was released.

It sounds like dark mode is only for actual book pages, not the whole device? If so then personally I would find that less useful, and would be inclined not to update and lose the current functionality.

But, the option is on a the "Developers options" screen. Which is only available if you specifically turn on developers mode. Hence why it is not officially supported. If you have it elsewhere, it means you have patched the firmware.

It was added only the Elispa. I should have said "but can be..."

Yes, Dark mode is only for reading. But, it does the inversion properly as it does not invert images. I'm not sure why it is less useful. The amount of time I spend not reading when using my devices normally* is insignificant compared to the time I spend in a book reading. Shortly, I will go to bed and read for an hour or so. During that time, unless I use the dictionary or make an annotation, I won't see anything other than the book.


* I say "normally" meaning reading or choosing what to read. I do spend a significant amount of time fiddling and testing things. I consider that non-typical use of the devices.

While I agree with you and find that dark mode is the superior method, I can see others argument that having the dictionary, annotations, and controls all not be affected can result in a bit of eye shock if the brightness is turned up. That said I’ve never felt it necessary to turn the brightness above 10% and typically have it at around 5% which hardly presents a too bright white when these elements of the UI are triggered.

Can we take the patch discussion to the patch thread? This thread is supposed to be about the firmware and how it works (or doesn't). What patches are available is probably reasonable, but debugging them isn't.

If I upgrade to this firmware can I use the patches from the previous one? Actually the only patch I need is the one for the Greek language keyboard..So can I use the 4.28.17925 patch ver with the new firmware?

Except for very rare circumstances (which haven't happened so far), if a patch applies correctly, it will not cause issues.

And, for the umpteenth time:

Don't turn them on.
Most of those patches have already been updated and tested (see my link to get them). The release is blocked on figuring out what to do with the font patches.

P.S. @davidfor: Sorry about not releasing the patches yet, indirectly resulting in the clutter in this thread; they're already mostly finished, but I haven't had time to sort out the font size/scale stuff yet.

Anyone else noted problems with Dropbox now? When I sync it keeps uploading (the same, every time) files, and doesn't download anything.

This firmware is fun.

Suddenly, after waking my Forma up (sleep cover) it had inverted screen! (I had not enabled dev mode.)

Enabled dev mode and disabled the inverted screen. Reboot and it's normal again.

Don't use a Patch File that's Older than 4.28.17925

Everything else works, it's very simple.
Darn. I somehow missed this and used my kobopatch file for 4.26.16704 (substituting in the 4.28.18220 update file), which was the last update received on my Forma. To save anyone else the mistake, make sure to use Semwize's more recent and linked patch file for 4.28.17925, which works seamlessly if you disable the patches he flags in your .yaml file. Using my earlier patch file, my .bat running threw errors for a bunch of additional patches, which I then had to repair manually from the rewritten patches on github ("allow rotation on all devices"; "both page turn sides go next"; "unlock enabled"; "auto usb gadget"; "remove line from bottom tab bar"; and "set kepub hyphenation". I guess these all got updated between .16704 and .17925, but I didn't realize that.

Thanks, as always, to all of you coders who help with and update these patches. Essential in my book -- and very wonderful.

I'm glad you mentioned this because the streaks are a bit startling. I'm sure some graphics designer was very proud of himself for coming up with that one ("Look, boss, it's animated!"), but it certainly does look like an error if you're not expecting it.
