Guessing it's not possible to simply move the covers up a bit so they fill the white space above them. |

I've been looking through the patch files, and I can't find the setting that defaults the search function to your own library instead of the kobo store. Is that gone in this version?

I thought it was still around, but it isn't as needed in the recent firmware. The search remembers what you last used. It is context sensitive and remembers the search used in three or four different places.

Strange, when I select Browse from the menu, the search field defaults to Kobo store and I then have to select My items

As I said, it is context sensitive. So, "Kobo" makes sense when in the store. And I also said it remembers the context in three or four places. This isn't one of them. Another place it doesn't remember the previous search is inside a book. That always starts with "Current read" selected. I can't fault that, and personally, I don't have any problem with the behaviour in the store.

Well I guess that makes sense, my only gripe about that is that I never use the store, since I always sideload all my books and have my entire library on my device. It would be nice to have it default to searching in my items instead of the Kobo store.

It does it after the first time you select it.

The Browse for books to buy, etc. and Browse category items at the bottom of the home page default to back to Kobo each time which, to me, is correct since I'm not likely to be buying, borrowing or previewing books from books already on my ereader.

Hi there,
I’ve been looking at getting a more integrated workaround to the differing font sizes between epubs and kepubs, and I think working off a patch included here is a good solution. In place of the CSS stanza `Un-force link decoration in KePubs` changes in `libnickel.so.1.0.0`, I have put: Code:
/* Adjust Kobo ePub font size to 150% */ body > div#book-columns > div#book-inner { font-size: 1.5em; } Having re-synced my Calibre library without the “change css” setting enabled in KoboTouchExtended, this appears to have worked around the issue for all my books. I am not entirely sure how to package this as a patch compatible with the existing tooling, but I’d be up for it being included if it’s desired! I hope this is the right thread for this, apologies if it isn’t! EDIT: Having done some more investigation, it looks like that stanza of CSS which is removed by that patch is actually used by the dictionary lookup highlight, the text of which is otherwise rendered white-on-white. A better approach appears to be adding this text adjustment to the end of a shortened version of the existing CSS: Code:
a:link,a:visited,a:active{border-bottom:1px dotted!important;color:#666!important;}#book-inner{font-size:1.5em} This appears to work much better. I considered adjusting the font size of the standard ePub stylesheet, however, it is not reliably possible to adjust as it appears the Kobo sets the font size on the body element, and there doesn’t seem to be any standard structure between that element and other elements which set their font size relative to their parents. EDIT 2: Further use revealed that while this approach seems pretty solid for most Kobo ePubs from both the store and Calibre, it doesn’t fix Pocket articles. I was able to work around that by adding `font-size: 1.5em` to the `body` element in the Pocket stylesheet. The Pocket stylesheet resides in `nickel` and is zlib compressed, which it seems this patcher can’t handle. I used v4 of pipcat’s patch-nickel, which can be found at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...2&postcount=22. I also removed some comments to regain the characters to squeeze the changes in without more changes. I notice that whilst the original Metazoa patch utility appears to support replacing strings in zlib-compressed sections of the files, this version doesn’t implement it, and the shipped patches actively work around this limitation by apparently including replacements for the zlibbed data. Would implementation of the zlib replacement functions be desired? Last edited by tickyd; 09-09-2017 at 02:10 AM. Reason: New approach discovered, more details |

In the dictionary customization patch,
Quote:
Couple of dictionaries I converted has blank space after every paragraph, which is almost every line. This is killing the appearance and usefulness. Edit: I see that margin-top is already set to zero. Is there any way to add margin-bottom as well? This might be the reason. Last edited by vjjustin; 09-21-2017 at 03:28 PM. |

If my own extra custom dictionaries are anything to go by they usually aren't structured like the Kobo default ones (which use HTML ordered lists <ol><li> etc). A lot of my custom dictionaries use a nested <blockquote> structure instead. I think the default css for <blockquote> probably includes a top/bottom margin of 1em. When patching my own Kobos I've changed the following section of the patch `Dictionary text font-family/font-size/line-height - beta`in libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch Original patch: Code:
# ##### N.B. Do not change the next 2 lines ##### find_base_address = `* { font: %1px %2; line-height: %5em; }` replace_string = 0000, `* { font: %1px %2; line-height: %5em; }\ndiv.descriptionFont { font-family: %3; }\nol { font-size: %1px; font-weight: bold; margin-left: %4em; margin-top: 0px; }\nol p { font-size: %1px; font-weight:normal; }\n`, `* { font-size: 40px; line-height: 1.4em; font-family: Georgia ;}\n \nol { margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 0px; }\nol p { font-size: 1em; font-weight:normal; }\n` # ##### N.B. Do not change anything above this line ##### Code:
replace_string = 0000, `* { font: %1px %2; line-height: %5em; }\ndiv.descriptionFont { font-family: %3; }\nol { font-size: %1px; font-weight: bold; margin-left: %4em; margin-top: 0px; }\nol p { font-size: %1px; font-weight:normal; }\n`, `* { font-size: 40px; line-height: 1.4em; font-family: Georgia ;}\n\nol {margin-left:1em; margin-top:0}\nblockquote {margin:0.5em 0 0.5em 1em} blockquote>blockquote {margin:-0.5em 0 0 2em}\n`
