Disable bottom 'touch' panel, but enable top panel?

In KOReader (at least on my jailbroken Kindle) we have a 'top' panel/bar and a 'bottom' bar/panel that can be activated either by touch or swipe. When I have a swipe option enabled then the bottom part works good, because it doesn't activate itself when I'm turning pages (because I'm turning them by 'touching/tapping' at the bottom of my Kindle). However, I'd like to have the top status/bar/panel to activate by touching/tapping on it instead of swiping (like in the default Kindle reader). Is it possible to have the bottom panel not activating while tapping/touching to change the page while having the top one revealing/showing while touching at the center instead of swiping from up to down?

Thanks for your answers

Not sure I really got what you want. But I disabled auto-show bottom menu: Top menu > Settings (gear) > Tap and Gestures> Activate Menu

I could still get the Top Menu by tapping the top area

No, that's not what I mean. I want the top menu to show after clicking (and then I don't care if the bottom one show or not), but I don't want the bottom menu to show when I click on the bottom on the Kindle to turn the page.

You can achieve this via a user patch. Create a folder 'patches' in koreader (if it doesn't exist yet), and a file named '2-ignorebottommenutap.lua' (i.e., koreader/patches/2-ignorebottommenutap.lua) with the following contents:

Code:
local ReaderConfig = require("apps/reader/modules/readerconfig")

function ReaderConfig:onTapShowConfigMenu()
    if self.activation_menu ~= "swipe" then return end
end
Keep both 'With a tap' and 'With a swipe' active in the KOReader 'Activate menu' settings. You will be able to open the top menu with either gesture, but the bottom menu only via swipe after applying this patch.

Thank you so much, that's what I meant
