Nook Glowlight 4 & KOReader: Adjusting Warmth In-App & Changing the Cover

[CleanYourNibs]

The title has the gist of it. I've gotten a Glowlight 4 running KOReader, the buttons work, and so far this looks to be a contender for one of the best 6" ereaders.

However, I can't adjust the warmth settings in KOReader, and even in RELaunchX I can only adjust the warmth settings because the Nook bar at the top is visible.

I'd be fine with just finding a way to get the top bar visible in KOReader with a swipe as well; it may just be that I'm unaware of a gesture for it, but I'm not sure.

Also, is there a way to make the lock screen the cover of whatever book I've been reading? From everything I've seen it doesn't seem possible without rooting, and I'm not particularly interested in going through that, unless that'll also give me the ability to change the warmth settings somehow.

I don't use KOReader but in AlReaderX I set a tap zone to toggle fullscreen. I would think KOReader has something similar that can be set for a tap zone or gesture.

I have this setup on my GL3 and I really like it but you definitely need root in order to do it. I've yet to find out if this is doable on the GL4 which is probably going to be my next ereader.

It doesn't appear that they have that feature yet, but it also seems that they're working on it. If it ends up being an issue for me, I'll just switch to AlReaderX or some other app—thanks for the heads up that AlReaderX is an option for this aspect.

I haven't seen anything that suggests it's doable, and only things that say the opposite. It wouldn't surprise me if there's a way to do it after rooting, but there's not as much talk about the GL4 as I would've expected!
