Following the davidfor's reminder (thank you), I've try to make a patch to assign a value to "LargePrintFontScale" parameter but, for some reason (my assembler is a little bit lost

) I can't to hold it on. When I reboot or check on/off "Large Print Mode" my value desapper. I don't really need the patch but I'd like to know... anything that point my only neuron to relax.
Thanks in advance.

Good luck.

Add at the name of the book line the writer´s name, Is that possible?
Thank you

What exactly do you mean by this? Do you want to change the value in a patch instead of using the config file?

Yes, change and hold (as I said: when I reboot or check on/off "Large Print Mode" my value disappear).

Good luck.

I've tried this for my Kobo Glo HD but get a failure. How has the code to look like for the Kobo Glo HD (Alyssum)? I've uncommented the line with Alyssum but it doesn't seem to work.

Code:

Reduce reading footer and quit caption:
  - Enabled: no
  - Description: |
      Based on GeoffR's `Custom reading footer style`
  - FindReplaceString:
      Find:    "ReadingFooter {\n  qproperty-footerMargin: 105;\n}\n\
                ReadingFooter[qApp_deviceIsDragon=true] {\n  qproperty-footerMargin: 170;\n}\n\
                ReadingFooter[qApp_deviceIsDaylight=true] {\n  qproperty-footerMargin: 221;\n}\n\
                #caption[qApp_deviceIsTrilogy=true] {\n  font-size: 19px;\n}\n\
                #caption[qApp_deviceIsPhoenix=true] {\n  font-size: 23px;\n}\n\
                #caption[qApp_deviceIsDragon=true] {\n  font-size: 29px;\n}\n\
                #caption[qApp_deviceIsAlyssum=true] {\n  font-size: 32px;\n}\n\
                #caption[qApp_deviceIsNova=true] {\n  font-size: 32px;\n}\n\

# When editing the replacement values below,
# BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHANGE THE LENGTH OF THE REPLACEMENT STRING!
      Replace: "ReadingFooter {qproperty-footerMargin: 00; min-height: 15px; max-height: 15px;}\n\
                #caption{qproperty-visible:false;}\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         "
      MustMatchLength: yes

Note that, for any patch, you can only change the Replace part (green). The Find part is the original one and the Replace part is which you want to put in.
The # is inside the Find part and it is part of the variable name, not a remark sign.
In this case the height value (purple) is the important one for you.

Good luck.

But if use this "Invert Screen" patch and enable it in "Reading Settings" (before enabling this patch, I disable/uncheck "Invert Screen" in "Developer options" and remove the above lines in "Kobo eReader.conf" and power off/on): it works OK, once I power it off/on again, the effect will be gone, the white-text-black-background effect will restore to the white-background-black-text, but the status of the "Invert Screen" item in "Reading Settings" is still what I set (on/check status), so if I want it white-text-black-background again, I have to uncheck-check it again.

This bug can be reproduced. I've tried it multiple times.

FYI: Kobo Forma 4.11.12019 and patched

@geek1011,

Just to revisit for a moment, this minor issue reported by codychan. Here's a bit more info...

If you use the DeveloperSettings option to toggle InvertScreen then the InvertScreen=true/false line is added to the [FeatureSettings] section of the .conf file.

If you use the 'Replace adobe page numbers toggle with invert screen' patch to do the toggling then the InvertScreen=true/false line is added to the [Reading] section of the .conf file. It's possible that this is inevitable given the hijacked Adobe Page Numbers option is on the Reading settings page.

If you've used both then you end up with 2 InvertScreen lines in the .conf file. I'm guessing that after a full power off/on the Kobo always looks in the [FeatureSettings] section for current status.

Personally, I'm not too bothered by the minor inconvenience because I'm just happy to have a quick access GUI toggling method, even if it does need a little bit of manual effort to re-synch the settings after a full reboot.

I realise there's only so much that can be done with the 'keyhole surgery' options inherit in patching, but I thought I'd pass on this info in case the patch can be improved if/when you have time to investigate further.

Ok, thank you! I tried to patch it in libnickel but it came out, it is a patch for nickel. It's working now and indeed the footer space is gone

This patch has another (for me welcome) effect. The navigation bar will not appear automatically when tapping on the center of the screen. PERFECT!

Thank you.
