The characters "ß" and "ƒ" in the Keyboard template are still replaceable
Hi,
I've just found that the characters "ß" and "ƒ" in the Keyboard template are still replaceable. Kobo added new string "goKey" + 3x0b00 in keyboard layout in the libnickel.so file. Some changes must be made in the libnickel patch: ß: -48 -> -56 (FFFFFFD0 -> FFFFFFC8) ReplaceString: {Offset: -56, Find: "ß\0", Replace: "ß"} ƒ: -44 -> -52 (FFFFFFD4 -> FFFFFFCC) ReplaceString: {Offset: -52, Find: "ƒ\0", Replace: "ƒ"} I tried it on my Kobo GloHD and it works well.

I'm about to patch my Glo HD -- thank you so much to geek1011 and GeoffR for all your work!
I was wondering about one thing: in the 4.11.11980 firmware release there used to be a patch (made by user jcn363) to change the footnote's font size. Could it be updated? I read plenty of nonfiction and if I could reduce it, it would save me a lot of time while reading. Thank you in advance!!! |

Progresive 4.12.12111
Basically tshering's BAD EYES revisited, which enlarged the font-size in GUI, with a simplify home screen ("Only Reading and My Books") and the addition of other patches (games, some fixes, cover increase...) and code cleaning to make more speedy. It is documented (somehow).
The file has 3 versions inside: * P -> for A1/Forma If you own a different device, you must change the values as needed.* PH -> for ClaraHD/H2O/GloHD/AuraHD * Pi -> same as PH but with a smaller font size increase. If you find any... don't hesitate. Warning: You never should use it if you read in Turkish or Japanese. Use at your own risk, I can't guarantee that it does not cause any issue. Good luck. EDIT: Updated (thanks to GeoffR) to get rid of the header gap. Last edited by jcn363; 12-20-2018 at 04:09 AM. Reason: Updated (thanks to GeoffR) to get rid of the header gap. |

With the Large Print Mode in the firmware, there is also a setting for the font scaling. This is the option "LargePrintFontScale" that can be added to the "ApplicationPreferences" section of the preferences. The value is a number to scale the UI font by when the Large Print Mode is on. The Large Print Mode seems to use a scaling of about 1.5. Using 1.1 gives a little bigger font in most places without reducing the number of books displayed in the lists. If you change the scale, you need to toggle Large Print Mode or restart the device to pickup the change. |

Yes. Look in the patch files for the features. Some of the main ones I use are showing the chapter name in the progress slider, increasing the number of font size and line spacing options, removing the sign-out button from the lock screen, enabling all of the beta features, adding an invert screen toggle to reading setting, increasing the power off timeout, and a whole lot of other ones. You can also use kobopatch to add translations, hyphenation dictionaries, and other files too.

Now that there is plenty of space at the top and bottom of the page, I think the default settings for the ePub fixed top/bottom margins patch should be reduced to zero.
ePub fixed top/bottom margins: (libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml) Spoiler:
Edit: Just a couple of notes for those unfamilliar with this patch: 1. It can't reduce the size of the built-in header/footer, negative values don't work, but setting the @page margins to zero with the patch at least overrides any larger @page margins that might have been set in the book's CSS stylesheet by the publisher. 2. You can change the units from px to others such as mm or pt, but % sizes don't work for @page margins, and em sizes are scaled relative to the base font size, not necessarily to the font size used for paragraphs.

Is this final (i.e. do you want this added to the zips)?
