Top progress bar customization

Hamsky · 02-10-2019, 01:33 PM

Hi, All,

does anybody know, how to customize the size (and font type and size) of top progress bar (highlighted it in attachment).

The main reason I switched to KOReader - it has option to completely disable bottom bar! Hurray for this!

But top bar looks a bit too big a font. I would love to be able to make it 2-3 times smaller..

In old versions there was cr3.ini settings (crengine.page.header.font.size=10), but now they do not work at all..

Does anybody know how to manage top bar font size?

I enquired about the bottom (status) bar - see https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=313741

That should give you some ideas about how to tweak it.

Of course I tried that, found your solution few months ago, but it does not work, at least on my Kobos...

Some of the specific behavior was changed in https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/4349 I'll ask @poire-z about the specifics. It looks like you can add a line like this to settings.reader.lua:

Code:

    ["cre_header_status_font_size"] = 10,

Would you happen to have any idea around which time this might've stopped working?

Thank you! Worked like a charm! Hope setting will remain after next update!

Maybe half a year ago, sorry, can not be more specific, because update my KOReader every month..

Never mind; the changes only apply to books opened in the future and so I figured it out.

Hello, I don't want to duplicate thread so I decided to write here. So is there any option to customize top/header bar in new releases (2019.12) ? For example I see time widget in attached photo (first post), which is not present in newest release. I can't figure out how to custom this top bar (change font and content).
I like this top bar because it shows book title, opposite to bottom bar (which is really good customizable)

Nope, that's entirely handled by CRe.

There may be *some* sort of tweaks possible, somehow, but I'm entirely unfamiliar with that.
