The new larger footnote pop-up in firmware 4.20.14601 doesn't really make sense when half of it or more stays empty. Would it be possible to get the old size back again with a patch, i.e. to adjust it to the size of the footnote text?

Patch possible (??)
Is it possible to write a patch that pressing on a word open rightly the full screen window of the pop up dictionary??
Maybe choosing if with the keyboard ready to type or not?! |

A version of Increase library cover size but for the Series tab in firmware 4.20+. It's a cool feature but I was trying to figure out why list view looked off to me, and I think it's because it's using the original thumbnail size rather than the larger one used in the My Books tab. Messes with my OCD, lol.

Your info panel says you have a GloHD so try adding this test patch (for Dragon devices only at the moment, i.e. AuraHD, H2O, GloHD, ClaraHD) to wherever you keep your custom patches for nickel.yaml Code:
test Increase Series list cover thumbnails: - Enabled: no - Description: Series list. Enlarge cover thumbnails - FindZlib: "#seriesCoverPack" - ReplaceZlibGroup: Replacements: # #seriesWidgetContainer reduce top/bottom margins of each entry - {Find: "topMargin: 14px;", Replace: "topMargin: 5px;"} # Dragon - {Find: "bottomMargin: 14px;", Replace: "bottomMargin: 0px;"} # Dragon # #seriesCoverPack increase cover thumbnail - {Find: "width: 108px;", Replace: "width: 141px;"} # Dragon - {Find: "height: 175px;", Replace: "height: 200px;"} # Dragon # all models #hBooks Move bookcount line up & away from horizontal gridline - Find: "#hBooks {\n padding-left: 0px;\n padding-bottom: 0px;" Replace: "#hBooks {\n padding-left: 0px;\n padding-bottom:20px;" Code:
test Reduce height of page navigator arrows: - Enabled: no - Description: Change page navigator footer height - booklist, serieslist - FindZlib: "QWidget[footerFixedHeight=true][qApp_deviceIsTrilogy=true]" - ReplaceZlibGroup: Replacements: # Dragon devices (AuraHD, H20, GloHD, ClaraHD) - Find: "QWidget[footerFixedHeight=true][qApp_deviceIsDragon=true] {\n min-height: 120px;\n max-height: 120px;\n}" Replace: "QWidget[footerFixedHeight=true][qApp_deviceIsDragon=true] {\n min-height: 90px;\n max-height: 90px;\n}" Last edited by jackie_w; 03-04-2020 at 06:39 PM. |

Thanks, Jackie. This is perfect. No truncation that I can notice, but I like the smaller arrows so I think I'll keep the second patch too. Thanks again!

I have long wanted to ask about the 'Allow searches on Extra dictionaries' patch
Perhaps it should be redone, all these replacements with "_" or ":" somehow look bad visually (a matter of taste, of course). Maybe it’s worth doing something like this? Spoiler:

Yes. I'll have to take a closer look, but that should probably work.

As soon as I noticed that, in 4.20.14601, the entries in the dictionary table of the database are no longer used, I went back to my custom variant of the patch (quite similar to Semwize's version):
Code:
Allow searches on Extra dictionaries (hex approach): - Enabled: no ## To allow searches on Extra dictionaries change space character at end of ## "Extra: " to another char (ex: "Extra:_") ## The space char causes a non-desired "English - English" when searching on ## Extra dictionary from main menu. - FindBaseAddressHex: 00 45 78 74 72 61 3A 20 # hex of "\0Extra:\x20" - ReplaceBytes: {Offset: 7, FindH: 20, ReplaceH: A0} I only gave up on the non-break space when an "Extra: xx" entry in the dictionary table became mandatory to use extra dictionaries and I couldn't convince the sqlite database to not replace every non-break space with a "normal" space during saving. |

Would it be possible to redo the old patch that allowed customizing "Refresh screen every:" for 4.20.14601. I know it was removed when it was unable ot be made for some earlier firmware, but maybe it can be redone. That would be good if it could so we can set when the screen flashes. Thanks.

@JSWolf: Doesn't simply tweaking numPartialUpdatePageTurns in the Reading section of the config work?
(It's set to 6 on my end, which is the default setting, IIRC. I don't recall what it looks like when set to "Chapter", not that it should matter for this kind of request ). |

numPartialUpdatePageTurns=4294967295 I've changed it to 50. I'll see if that works. |

Any news on if this is possible or not? I’d love for the dictionary to pop right to full screen
