kobopatch request thread

On other thing I am trying to accomplish: I found this thread for cleaning up the info panel when the device is asleep or powered off and using a custom screensaver: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...7#post=3220397

I have been struggling to translate this into something that the yaml files can understand. I attempted this:

Changing the info panel in full size screensaver:

but it crashes the .bat file. Any ideas on how to do this? Also, my device is obviously none of the ones above, but I'm hoping I can just mess with the pixel settings to fix any issues with that.

Why do you think this person is stupid?

I get it, JSWolf, you don't agree with my hypotheses about the user experience via a simpler UI, you've said as much on several posts on this site. I'm trying to be humble about my requests because I don't know a lot about how the patches work, and I'm grateful for the help the folks here are providing.

Having said that, when I read your replies I mostly just feel bad for the project I'm working on, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't keep implying my approach is wrong. If you have ideas for how I can help my elderly veteran friend that aren't "this person is stupid" or how if your mother can do it then everyone else should be able to, as well, I'm eager to listen.

The old patches in those links are really too old to be of much use for fw 4.25.

Hmm, so when I put that into libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml and enable it, the .bat file won't complete and so there is no .tgz file created. I looked at the log file and found this:

kobopatch.FindZlib index=3 line=1182
          |         FindZlib("#infoFrame") | hex:23696e666f4672616d65
          |         could not apply patch "jackie_w Screensaver full": line 1182: inst 3: FindZlib: could not find string
        --> could not apply patch "jackie_w Screensaver full": line 1182: inst 3: FindZlib: could not find string

Is there something I need to change? I'm game to experiment but I'm not sure how to first get it to a point that it processes normally so that I can analyze it.

It's a patch for nickel.yaml not libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml.

Ah, my mistake. Is that something I could have figured out for myself?

Only if you'd spent a lot of time using the patch system. From following your link I see why you thought it belonged in libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml because that's where the relevant code was in 2015.

Since then Kobo have consolidated much of the GUI-related CSS stuff into nickel. A few small CSS streams still remain in libnickel.so.1.0.0, e.g. the one controlling the style of text content in the dictionary widget(s). Don't ask me to explain the rationale, because I can't.

TL, DNR: I should have been more explicit.

@jackie_w do you know if the My Books a the bottom line of the home screen can have something else done with it? Since we have two of them, it would make sense if something else can be done with it.

I don't know of any existing way to add/delete/change which Navbuttons exist in the footer.

Speaking with zero "Kobo insider" knowledge, I do wonder whether the fact that 'My Books' and 'Kobo Store' are now present in both Navbuttons and the Home 3x2 grid means that Kobo are due to review the whole Home screen layout situation again.

Cue the MR hyperbole if/when they do.

Jackie,
and now the widget cannot be moved to the lower left (or right) corner, as before?

I didn’t look, just asking.

Thanks, that worked a charm. I've inferred that this code is for changing the size and font and colors of the infopanel, including it's border, as well as hiding it under certain conditions. Are there options for moving the infopanel around, as well? Or is that what the "Margins" options are for (rather than the little box that surrounds the infopanel)?

There used to be options for moving the infopanel around, in the days when your original link was still valid. Unfortunately not anymore.

Got it, thanks for saving me the trouble. I wonder, is it instead possible to restore the older screensaver screen? The one with "Sleeping" etc at the top of the screen, and "X% read • Expires in Y days" etc at the bottom.

Do you mean the 'not-fullscreen screensaver'? If so, that's just a standard checkbox in Settings>Energy saving and privacy
