Kindle PW2 List View mods?

drakebelisarius · 02-25-2014, 04:31 PM

Hi all. I've decided I don't want to muck around with downgrading from PW2 5.4.2, and so I'm going to put my plans to use Collection Manager on hold for the moment. So I have a couple questions. Firstly, is it possible to change the font size for the List View of your bookshelf? I think it's simply too big and would like to reduce it.

Secondly, is it possible to add a custom piece of metadata to the "item description" that pops up when you long press on an item? I would really like to be able to display the series and number within the series (Example: The First Law [1]). If I could do these two things, I would be thrilled with the Kindle.

For your second question you can use a plugboard to add the series info to the title.

I actually just discovered that (and elected to put it at the author's name instead, so as to preserve room). Thank you though!

Since you seem to have some experience with plugboards, would you be willing to take a look at the topic I just started about them? I'm running into some difficulty. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=234889

Posting there right now. In the future, you may want to post here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=100949

This is the official plugboards thread, and many people keep an eye on it so you are pretty much guaranteed to get a response faster.
