Turn off backlight of Ko reader

userresu · 05-19-2022, 03:31 AM

Hello guys,
I noticed that the KO reader on my pw4 won't shut down the backlight completely even if it's set to value 0. It is most noticeable in nightmode. Does anyone else has that issue? And does anyone know a method to fix it?

Kindle's do not allow the light to be fully turned off.

While the minimal step will leave it on (that's on purpose and platform-agnostic in KOReader, and irrelevant of the Kindle's native capabilities in that regard), the "toggle" button (and dispatcher action) *should* turn it off, though.

That's the case with my pw4: "toggle" turns the backlight completely off.
