Is there a way to make the patch for "Increase the view details container size" work on a Clara HD with "Custom synopsis/font size" without any lines being cut? Maybe someone has figured out a safe font size?
Also, wasn't there a patch to disable the fast forward/backward flipping of pages by holding the lower corners? This feature makes it impossible to look up words in the last line in the dictionary. Or is there another way to disable it? I think I read something somewhere but I don't remember exactly... |

Hi,
is it possible to officially include the 'Set font scale factor' patch that GeoffR created in this thread in kobopatch? I mean the one that works on both kepubs and epubs, not just on epubs: Code:
Set font scale factor: - Enabled: yes - Description: | This patch sets the font scale factor for ePub and KePub readers. # font scale factor is (current font size) / (X+32) # original value X=14, so (current font size) / 46 is original scale factor, # e.g. selecting font size 46 from the slider gives scale factor 1.0 # allowed replacement values for X: 0-15 (smaller X --> larger scale factor) # ePub: - ReplaceInt: {Offset: 0x4A6EBA, Find: 14, Replace: 14} # KePub: - ReplaceInt: {Offset: 0xA2A5F0, Find: 14, Replace: 14} |

GeoffR recently added this patch, so you might want to see if it fits your needs. Last edited by geek1011; 06-12-2019 at 10:44 AM. |

I would be very happy if GeoffR decided to include this in future releases as well, but if not it's fine as it is -- it's a very minor thing that is probably of no interest to other users now that it's fixed, and I'm already happy that I have the choice not to update if I want to, which is more than I had before for sure |

Could @jcn363 or @jackie_w, or @GeoffR take a look at https://github.com/geek1011/kobopatc...hes/issues/16? I'm not familiar with that patch or the screensaver CSS, and it's jcn363's patch.

It looks to me as if all jcn363's patch is doing is changing the font-size of some of the text (battery charging status only ???) in the semi-transparent rectangular (rather large & ugly ) info panel which appears two-thirds the way down the left-hand edge of the full screensaver, obscuring some of the cover. The ability to change the position of this panel (to one of the corners) disappeared many firmwares ago, or at least it's no longer obvious how to do it. You can still change the size of the panel by changing the #infoWidget min/max-width value. I'm not sure what benchen71 actually means by 'removing Sleeping'. I think it's probably possible to change the 'Sleeping' and 'Powered off' text to something you like better as they are both strings in libnickel.so.1.0.0 (D1E774). However, as they are both quite short strings I don't know how much flexibility there would be in renaming them. Overtyping them with normal spaces sounds plausible in theory. For my own purposes I wanted to use the full, rather than small, screensaver and also be able to see at a glance whether my device is sleeping or powered off. So my own custom patch: - significantly reduces info panel size when Powered off - reduces info panel size to zero when Sleeping, so that the cover is fully visible. As for 'adding the battery level'. I thought the info panel already displayed the battery level whilst sleeping if the device is currently charging. It certainly used to, but I can't say for sure because of my custom patch. |

The battery charge level is still displayed when plugged in and sleeping. I can't see any really good justification for redrawing the screen during sleep to display the battery level while not charging unless a faster way to discharge the battery during sleep is needed.

Could you share your custom patch? It would be good to see it, and then maybe work out my own custom patch. Sincerely, Ben. |

Spoiler:
Please note I've only patched values for Dragon/Daylight Kobo models. But it looks like you have a GloHD (which uses Dragon values for this particular patch) so it should be OK for you. |

Thanks, jackie_w. That's very helpful, especially the bit about GloHD's codename being Dragon. I had been wondering which one applied to my device!

Just for clarification, the codename of the GloHD is Alyssum not Dragon. However, many CSS streams inside nickel (including the one which controls the full-size screensaver) do not set specific values for Alyssum for all variables. As far as I can tell, in the absence of Alyssum values, Dragon values are used instead.

Pocket articls delete option : Remove from Pocket
Thanks for Kobo-patch always!
I would like to change to delete pocket articls option from 'Remove download' to 'Remove from Pocket'. Whenever I read pocket articles of Kobo, and then it's so inconvenient to delete articls that I saw. Or, Without the option page to choose 'Remove download' or 'Remove from Pocket', Run removing article from pocket. Any of them, It will be very good for Kobo pocket users in my opinion. Thanks |

Rather than hyperlinks being gray & underlined, i'd prefer black & dotted underlined
Someone who read my thread suggested I post on this kobopatch request thread.
Currently, all hyperlinked text in my Kobo Forma kepubs appear as gray. I reckon that's how the Forma "converts" purple/blue hyperlinks. I'd prefer the hyperlinks to have greater contrast (i.e. be darker or black). So rather than gray hyperlink text, I'd rather have some other signifier of hyperlinks, say, dotted underlines. Is something like this available? Last edited by droopy; 09-05-2019 at 02:23 AM. |
