Can the stock menu icons be replaced (similar to how nickelmenu icon can be replaced)?

That progress bar is relatively new and has always displayed the full book progress. The option for it is "Show book progress bar".

Hello,
Are you able to add "Custom Page Refresh: 99 pages" patch on latest firmware?
Thanx

If the line exists, copy and paste the IgnoreCaptivePortal line below it. If it doesn't exist, copy/paste both lines. Once that's done, save the file and optionally reboot.

Code:

[FeatureSettings]
IgnoreCaptivePortal=true

Thanks for the tip David.
Though even after addind this line, the browser still asks me to connect to a network before I can access it. I checked on this list of configuration options page and it would seem IgnoreCaptivePortal is not working since FW 4.15 since "official support" would have been added since then.

I'm on latest 4.30.18838 and cannot find the option anywhere in the settings or developer options. Any idea where it might be hiding?

Thanks

When I wake from sleep with the latest Forma firmware, my last read page is shown, but the menu is also shown (top and bottom/chapter progress), so I have to tap to continue reading. Could a patch be made so the menus don't come up?

Also, could a patch be done so when the menu comes up while reading (by tapping on the Bottom of the screen),
The progress/stats (THIS CHAPTER, NEXT CHAPTER, THIS BOOK) comes up instead of the normal bottom item (PAGE X OF Y, ...)?

Thanks.

I echo this request, as, on the newer devices, this option would be very good for dark mode. In dark mode, because the rest of the UI is not affected, each page refresh flashes very brightly if you're in a dark room, so being able to set it to 99 would be very helpful.

In dark mode, is it possible to change the highlight color from white to a grey tone. That would be much more comfortable.
I also second the request for the "Custom Page Refresh: 99 pages"

Thanks.

Is it possible to patch the "Learn more" link in the light control drop down panel so that it toggles the new dark mode in devices that support it? Kind of like the patch to swap "display adobe page number" with "toggle invert screen"?

There's a menu item for it but it takes like 5 taps.

Is there a wiki that explains the structure of the firmware and how to find where/watch to patch things?

Since version 4.30.18838 I lost the ability to show the book cover in sleep mode. Now it only ever shows FNAC logo. A patch to fix this would be very nice.

No patch needed. You just need to edit the affiliate.conf file. Search the forums for more info

In the latest firmware, this only helps for a while. Then FNAC returns again.

So.. re-edit the file. Try making it read-only.

Hi there!
May I request for a function of dictionary that allow for sliding left or right to change dictionary (like kindle - in case there is more than 1 installed dictionary)? Or just by one tap - appearance will be like tabs in google chrome/edge.
(The thing is the current style of Kobo Libra2/ClaraHD requiring 2 hits. In both above proposals, just 1 hit or 1 slide will be ok).
Sorry if this has been asked. I tried but didn't find it.
