PB302: unwanted folders in the library (and themes for 302)
Hi all,
I have a 302 with firmware 15.2. I wanted to organize my books into folders. Diligently following the instruction manual of the 302, I created some folder on the device, at the root, and put some books there. The folder appeared in the library, but the folders "news", "Photo" and "screens" also showed up there. Not the system and other folders, just these 3 extra folders. I don't want them there! They were hidden before, why do they show up now? I tried the following:
Is there a solution to my issue? Is there any clean-looking 302 theme which uses a "Books" folder? I'm willing to create a theme if it can help, but is there a program for that. But I think this issue is weird. The library should ignore the news and screens and Photos folders, no? Last edited by agravier; 06-11-2010 at 01:12 PM. Reason: formatting |

Check this thread:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80518 There are in fact several themes that only show the contents of the Books folder, not the root. And I believe there is at least one link in there to the creator tool. It's not fully documented but example code is available for several Themes. Good luck! |

Something about trapping flies with honey instead of vinegar. That said, the Theme creator pack comes with an RTF that google translate renders as below. At least one person on this forum used the tool to modify an existing Theme to their taste; the LastOpen Theme. __________________________________________________ _____________ Creating themes for PocketBook PocketBook interface allows you to customize any of the items of your choice. This is done with the aid of themes. R is an archive containing a file with the configuration of the theme (fonts, colors, position of elements, etc.), and resource files. The configuration file topic - a plain text file in UTF-8 string containing the type optname = value. Parameters can be of several types: Type Description Example INTEGER Integer val = 12345 STRING string UTF-8.

Images must be recorded in a format BMP (16 or 256 colors), while the color RGB (128,128,64) is transparent. If multiple elements appear to be identical, the packer is to recognize it, the picture will then be recorded in a single copy. Packer does not make any image transformation (dithering, etc.), you need to prepare images in finished form. Fonts - any TTF fonts (note that all of the fonts of the current topics are held in memory in unpacked form, so invest in a theme Arial Unicode MS - not a good idea The name of the font file can be substituted as a face in the elements FONT. For versions of 301.08 are defined such images: batt_N battery, N = 0 .. 5 (0-empty, 5-fully charged) batt_c battery during charging bmk_active active tab bmk_actnew New bookmark bmk_inactive Inactive tab bmk_panel Bookmarks bar bmk_flag «Area" tab on the page broken_image Broken Link button_normal button dialogue button_selected button active dialogue clock_dN Large digit hours (N = 0 .. 9) clock_colon separator hours and minutes contents_background Wallpaper book content contents_active Wallpaper active element content of the book contents_inactive Wallpaper inactive element content of the book book_background_p Wallpaper vertical page book (v301.08) book_background_l Wallpaper horizontal page book (v301.08) leaf_open Open site content (-) leaf_closed Private site content (+) djviewer_menu Quick Menu for books DjVu fbreader_menu Quick Menu for books TXT, FB2, PRC, HTM, CHM ... pdfviewer_menu Quick Menu for books PDF hourglass hourglass ICON_FILE icon unrecognized file ICON_FOLDER folder icon ICON_PHOTO Icon album ICON_ext icon for the file extension ext icon_error icon dialogue errors icon_information image information dialogue icon_question icon interrogative dialogue icon_warning icon warning dialog icon_flash icon internal memory icon_sdcard icon SD Cards icon_mixed icon "mixed" directory (memory + SD) Icon_playing icon notes (including MP3 player) menu_bg Wallpaper menu (may contain elements at once) menu_N N-th menu item (optional) menu_Na N-th active menu item (optional).

E-ink display uses three update modes: full, partial and partial black and white. In most cases (for example, page flipping) using the full update - with black shading. This is the slowest method. To speed up the response of menu items and lists using partial update. However, if there is a change only black and white pixels (even if the region contains updates immutable gray), used a monochrome update, but it is about 4 times faster than usual. Therefore, for items that require quick response, it is desirable to use the fonts without antialiasing, and all the images to calculate such a way that the selection changed only black and white. Partial update on the screen are the traces of previous images, especially noticeable in gray areas. It also features technology to get rid of it programmatically impossible. Creating pbt-File As an example, we have recorded the theme default unpacked (catalog example). You can try to change it as you wish, and then burn to PocketBook folder / system / themes and see what happened. Configuration theme is in the file mytheme.txt, resources - in a folder resource. To create pbt file, simply run the script create.bat. The new version PocketThemes added viewer in order - you can immediately see how looks the topic started. Overview is an abridged emulator PocketBook 301 (only function bookshelf). Folders ext1 and ext2 subdirectory system \ mnt viewer perceives respectively as internal memory and SD card - here you can copy the books and see how the list will look in the bookshelf. The archives are theme_sources.zip source of all three standard themes. If you make a mistake in any setting, and PocketBook not loaded with the selected topic or shows something totally unimaginable, you can always boot in safe mode. To do this, when you turn on hold "-" before the bookshelf. Good luck! |

Pocketbook has one of the most extensive and active user bases. Lots of goodies out there... ...but mostly on russian sites. It would probably be a full-time job (for an intern) at one of the resellers to track and translate for western use all the cool stuff that's out there. (And probably three full-time lawyers to verify the copyright status of some of it, which is probably not safe to even mention. ) So most of us 'round here just scavenge what we find and pass on the word when something particularly cool pops up. We all chip in, we all benefit one way or another. It a lot like an old-fasioned pioneer barn-rainsing. |
