Kobo Aura H2O Full Screen Browser? - Page 4

davidfor · 04-08-2015, 10:25 PM

Unfortunately, during the connect the device looks for a web page and if it can't retrieve it, assumes the connection doesn't work and stops. There have been a few suggestions about how to get around this. One such is with https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=2377037.

I added
FullScreenBrowser=true
in the section
[FeatureSettings]
in the file "Kobo eReader.conf".

My device is a H2O with 4.3.8842.

Indeed a webpage is displayed on a larger part of the display.

But:
* on top there's an empty space of about 13mm and at the bottom of 4mm. The webpage itself does not have any margins.

* there's no way to exit from the browser (but a change to the standby or restart of the reader)

Is there any way to solve the task "true fullscreen of the browser" without these issues, may be by a patch?

And is there a way to get the same tap gesture for "scroll one page further" as for a book?
In my configuration it is tapping in the left area for books.

I would like to use the browser to display cooking recipes from my own website. Therefor I need a good presentation and usage of contents in the browser.

Thanks for your help.
