I'm planning to finally give this a try, one quick question to make sure I've understood the instructions correctly:
"Copy the original firmware you just downloaded into the kobopatch src folder." Does this mean extract the entire zip into the kobopatch src folder, as when manually applying the firmware update to my device? |

It's great being able to adjust sideloaded fonts, thanks to you all so much! It makes me wonder why I waited so long (a whole month). Now for some kind soul to add a devanagri keyboard to the impressive list in the the patch files, and I'll be all set

@geek1011 thanks for the patch. Maybe there is an error with hiding the recommendations (row1col2) for Mark6 firmware. The patch generation failed with this log output:
Code:
| ReplaceZlib(0, "[qApp_isFontScaleLarge=true] #row1col2 {\n qproperty-visible: false;\n}", "[qApp_isFontScaleLarge=true] #row1col2 {\n qproperty-visible: false;\n}\n#row3 {\n qproperty-visible: false;\n}") | could not apply patch: i8: ReplaceZlib: find string not found in stream ([qApp_isFontScaleLarge=true] #row1col2{qproperty-visible:false;}) --> ReplaceZlib: find string not found in stream ([qApp_isFontScaleLarge=true] #row1col2{qproperty-visible:false;}) |

Size of ePub page header on different devices?
If someone has this firmware installed on a lower-resolution device such as Touch or Glo, could you post a screenshot of the first page of this test ePub please? margintest.epub (it shows a thin rectangle filling the available screen area. Sideload it as an ePub, don't convert it to KePub.)
Take screenshots with and without the show header option ticked. This will let us work out the size of the header to allow for in the `ePub fixed/adjustable top/bottom margins` patch. (Edit: Screenshots from other devices like H20 wold be useful too.) Last edited by GeoffR; 12-14-2018 at 04:01 AM. Reason: ... other devices too ... |

Thanks so much for looking into that patch Geoff! I'll send you some screenshots later today or tomorrow.

No problem! This always seems to take less time than I predict each time (30m this time). Last edited by geek1011; 12-14-2018 at 07:40 AM. |

Here are some screenshots from my Aura Ed 2. These ones have the 33% header menubar reduction (but I don't think it makes a difference), and the custom footer style (default settings) patches enabled. I'll do some without those patches this afternoon.
