i confirm the "disappearing nanoclock after Calibre eject ' is solved. Thank you, NiLuJe. I hope you won't abandon nanoclock. This is easily the top addon to the kobo reading experience for me. Last edited by Deobulakenyo; 04-24-2022 at 02:10 AM. |

It's pretty much feature-complete, so it's not like it requires much of my time anyway .

Once I got it installed I spent a little while trying out different fonts and thought if it doesn't already exist that this might save others some time. I tested a dozen or so fonts while appending the NAME of the font to my string, then took pictures. The last 4 - UNSCII, ALT, THIN and IBM all look identical to me so I'm guessing that means they don't exist on my device. But I really like Spleen so that's what I'm using. Thank you SO much NiLuJe - you've made my beloved reader even a bit more beloved to me! |

Unscii is very similar to the old IBM BIOS font, but not exactly (e.g., the zero's crossbar).
As for its variants, the constants are actually unscii_alt, unscii_thin, unscii_fantasy, unscii_mcr & unscii_tall (hadn't noticed before that the documentation is wrong for those [it's pointing to the constant names used by the FBInk CLI instead of the API]). (c.f., http://viznut.fi/unscii/ for more about unscii) ---- EDIT: Released 0.11.4 to fix that in the config comments. Last edited by NiLuJe; 06-04-2022 at 06:24 PM. |

Thanks for the explanation and the update! I'll update my screenshots with some more of the fonts. I think I can speed up the process a bit by pre-making the ini files and then just dropping them in one by one.
I've noticed that my current format string overlaps the chapter information in the middle of the screen. I think the answer is no but is there any option for having a left justified portion and a right justified portion? For example: format_left=L:{frontlight} B:{battery} format_right=%I:%M The only way I've figured out how to get the information to those spots is to insert the right number of spaces in the string, but the spaces themselves overlap the chapter information. I'm SO loving having a clock again, thanks!!! Quote:

Depending on your pen color setting, you might be able to avoid stomping on the UI bits behind your spaces by enabling the backgroundless mode . (That won't work on the Sage & Elipsa, though). |

I wonder if someone who understands Macs could tell me how to install this please using my iMac?
I used 'The Unarchiver' app to unpack the zip with the Kobo root on my Libra 2 as the destination, but it did not overwrite the .kobo file, merely created another hidden file alongside it called .kobo1. |

miniclock is unmaintained and won't work with latest firmwares - at the very least, the patch to no longer grab input events exclusively so miniclock can listen in, no longer works for current firmware so you would have to patch it manually, and you'd also have to update fbink manually for device support...
I doubt that miniclock could fix any issue that nanoclock has... its an issue with the device itself, anyhow Last edited by frostschutz; 06-24-2022 at 04:14 AM. |

Yup, the issue is in how the driver (fails) to deal with the refresh pattern we trigger, the exact variant of *Clock used is barely relevant .

Oh no!!
So I'll have to do without the onscreen clock and battery! What a blow. But thank you guys for setting me straight before I tried it ps Is there any hope of a clock being developed that works despite the failings of the device/drivers? Or shall I resign myself to its absence? |
