Decrease font size of file browser?

kleinjar · 02-26-2016, 09:54 PM

Which line in which file might I edit to change the font size of the koreader file browser? I'd like to see more at a time.

Which device are we talking about?

For me, with my Kobo AuraHD, it is in .adds\koreader\frontend\ui\widget\menu.lua

The "cfont", at line 120 and 324, using Notepad++

I changed mine to 16. It looks fine but The Aura HD, has a higher res than some, which means that the fine print is clear and readable. While the text is smaller, so more of the titles are visible, the line spacing isn't changed so there aren't more lines to a page. I may look into that as well, but I don't think the lines should be too close together, or we'll have trouble selecting them on the touchscreen.

( To adjust line placement, change:
Around Line 374: Screen:scaleBySize(46), -- hardcoded for now. I changed to (28), for my AuraHD)

While you are at "/widget/" you might want to make the "closebutton.lua" "x", at line 18, bigger. I went from 32 to 52, and the bigger X doesn't look too out of place. It seems easier to activate.

Attached pic, taken after changing (cfont) to 16 but before changing the line placement to (28).

I opened an issue at the project on Github.

Also, added photo to post above.

Found menu.lua at koreader/frontend/ui/widget
Changed font size to 12 which works well for me.

did the trick, thanks!
Not sure what the closebutton "X" is. Perhaps it doesnt affect the kindle version?
