My six year old with Downs Syndrome has figured out how to turn on my Aura One and she likes to play with it, losing my place in my book in the process. Thank you so much for finding this hidden "feature". I can certainly see how some (most) would think it is an annoyance, but for me, I anticipate it being a great help. |

Installed on my original Aura and at first blush everything seems to be running as it should.
I'm happy fullscreen has been enabled and I like that I can just dismiss the header or footer for kepubs. Is it possible via patching to shrink the footer by half or even two thirds? I like the info it contains, but leaving it on just takes too much space. Nook displays the same info in its footer, but it is much less of a space hog. |

A silly question maybe, but...
If I previously updated my Clara HD with the generic Mark 7 with the latest firmware before this update (4.11.11982), is it safe to update it now with the firmware 4.12.12111 expressly intended for the Clara HD ? EDIT : Well, to answer my question... yes, it's safe. Great to see that the refreshing got fixed. Last edited by deleted2; 12-13-2018 at 02:58 PM. |

For the UnlockEnabled=false setting, is the file I need to update \.kobo\Kobo\Kobo eReader.conf?
If so, is there a special text editor I need to use because in Notepad it looks like all the text flows together as shown below. (click for larger image) When I tried to add a carriage return and put in the UnlockEnabled=false line, it looks like it just added it to the FullscreenCoverStretch entry. The strange part is when I copy/paste the entries in the file, it appears there are hidden line breaks (expect for the line I tried to add). [PowerOptions] AutoColorEnabled=true ColorSetting=5910 FrontLightLevel=3 FullscreenCoverStretch="true\r\nUnlockEnabled=fals e\r\n |

For config files its best to open with wordpad so the text doesnt flow together, or you could install Notepad++. |

Also, @jackie_w, your dictionary pop-up frame size increase patch is broken and needs to be updated. |

Any chance Overdrive integration with an H2O works in this version?

I've got a prototype replacement which I'm testing now. I can't remove the "wasted" footer space anymore, but it's the best I can come up with at the moment. I'll PM you once I've tested it a bit more. |
