Visited link color and Cover size and

[nqk]

Dear Kovid,

1) The visited link color now is black (same color as normal text), should be red or something? As far as I remember, it was red. (Book Details window)

2) Is it possible to have the cover width/height automatically stretched to width/height of the device on portrait and landscape mode, respectively? (Several cover images are now much smaller (resolution) than the Android screen). (Book Details window)

3) A vertical scroll bar now appears on the screen while reading (required me to tap OK without the 'Show a scrollbar' ticked to deactivate it). But it seems you have fixed it already. (reading on page mode)

4) I took your advice on the other thread to apply .book-content-popup-container * {display: block;} to overwrite the footnote hiding, but it doesn't have any effect, hence, the pop-up is still blank. (user defined css in Styles window)

1. no i dont think it was ever red. May have been purple at one time. But I decided there is not much point in having it. After all knowing you have searched before for tag X or Author Y is not very useful

2. See the option under Page Layout

3. yes fixed in next release

4. Add !important and use the inspector to check

There is this: Preserve cover aspect ratio (checked).

I indeed want to keep the aspect ratio. And I want the cover (if small) to fill the width of my phone screen (portrait). It looks like the cover can be REDUCED to the screen width if it is bigger.

This is the footnote test file. I set [epub|type~="footnote"] { display: none;} in the css. As a result, the popup footnote is blank/hidden.


I use the Inspector and locate the source. It was replaced by Calibre to role="doc-footnote", the value is still display: none; I change this "none" to anything else in the Inspector, and it works. The popup container now shows the content.





However, when I copy the [role~="doc-footnote"] { display: block; } to user-defined css window, it forces even the hidden footnote to show on the body.



I tried to use

#content-iframe-1 > [role~="doc-footnote"] {
    display: block !important;
    }

or

.book-content-popup-container > [role~="doc-footnote"] {
    display: block !important;
    }

or

.book-content-popup-container * {
    display: block !important;
    }

but it came back to the original state where the footnote popup is blank.

Yeah, I am not really a fan of blowing up small images, makes them blurry, so there is no option to do that. As for the popup footnote, wait for the next release, as I have removed the mapping of epub:type to role, then use

@namespace epub url(http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops);

[epub|type="footnote] { display: none }
.calibre-footnote-container [epub|type="footnote] { display: block }

Yet you added arrows to the top corners of the cover. They are supposed to be on the edges of the screen, aren't they?

no, they are supposed to be on the edges of the cover, in fact on a wide screne the cover is displayed to the side of the text, not below it.
