I use Calibre-web + kobo-sync API and books are automatically available on my Libra 2 in .kepub format. It's wonderful. The trade-off is that I don't physically connect to calibre to send metadata. I'm putting this up front because I'm requesting cover span support at the device-level and I know people are going to say 'use kobo touch extended' etc. For my use, and anyone that also uses kobo-sync (e.g., my family, kids, devices etc), I'd very much appreciate having full-screen covers without connecting to our family 'server' computer. I'll also note that I'm totally ok with the (to me) imperceptible distortion introduced by spanning covers. For example, when I open a book and see the fullscreen cover it looks fine, but then on lockscreen it's pillarboxed, which I find distracting on the nightstand.
Thanks for hearing me out, and I'm hoping this is a valid use-case for this kind of support at the device level. Last edited by mgrimace; 04-27-2024 at 09:03 PM. |

I have a request for the Libra 2's notebook - it would be wonderful if the pen side button activated the select/lasso function instead of the highlighter. That would significantly improve the notebook's usability. I'd be incredibly grateful if anyone could help or offer a pointer in the right direction.

Kobo info panel on lock screen contact information
Hey everyone, I'm new here. Just got my first Kobo, the Libra Color. I'm not too savvy with coding and programming. I've noticed that you can customize the menus a lot using plugins. But I'm wondering if it's doable to add contact information on the info panel when it's sleeping (like shown in here: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=htt...e20cad3fdf51c5). Also, it would be neat if we could adjust its opacity.
Not sure how to replace the 'sleeping' with contact information, but it seems feasible, right? Maybe keeping the 'sleeping' text and adding another text in the middle with that info in a smaller font (like in shown in here: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=htt...eb8259333ad050). I've seen some patches about adjusting the position, size, and opacity of the info panel, but they seem to be for older models, and I'm not sure how to set up my transparency percentage. I've read suggestions about using a personal screensaver to add this info, but it defeats the purpose of having a color display to showcase book covers. Also, someone on Reddit mentioned adding a watermark to all book covers, but I'm clueless about how to do that. Still, I think adding the name would be a nice touch for the info panel on the locked screen. My Kobo hasn't arrived yet, so I can't try or test these things. And as someone mentioned on reddit, the patches aren't available for my Kobo Libra just yet. Is anyone else interested in this patch? I'm still amazed at how many customization options the Kobo offers. I believe it'll be a great upgrade from my Kindle Paperwhite. Cheers |

Wow , I really liked the option of putting a password on the device and having a message saying who the owner is and the contact in case of losing the Kobo. Is it possible to use just that and not have another info panel on top? Does anyone know how to only use the lock screen? This way, only the book cover would appear when it's asleep or turned off. As I mentioned before, I've never done anything with HTML and programming. But seriously, I found this way of the password lock screen amazing! I really want to put this on my Kobo haha. Thanks for the post, John F. |

Sorry, is there a way to fix the page button turns to scroll by section/page, for a PDF/CBR/CBZ that is rotated sideways and fit to width (i.e. a page is now >1 screen)?

Hi,
I applied the Un-Force user text-align in div,p tags in KePubs patch but now the left-align settings doesn’t work with 90% of my books. In fact, there are a lot of books that the off setting seems to not work at all. Am I missing something? |

Has anyone ever posted pictures of what the result looks like when using the patch "Increase size of kepub chapter progress chart"? It sounds like a good idea, but I'm not sure how big the chart is going to get or whether the size can be adjusted further while still fitting on the screen.

Patching out reading stats/activity completely
Hello, everyone.
I got a Kobo Sage a couple of days ago and have been doing some tweaks. Is it currently possible to edit the top menu in the in-book reader? Specifically, I wish to remove the button which displays the remaining time left in the chapter and book: Also, on a related note, I'm on the side-loaded mode and want to know if it's possible to hide the "Activity" tab of the "Activity" section, while still keeping the "My Words" tab. If that's not possible, can the entire Activities section be removed? I couldn't find any patch which covers these, and also tried with NickelMenu but it seems that only allows the creation of new items, but not the removal of built-in ones.

Hi guys,
I’ve seen a script for NickelMenu somewhere on MR to print battery stats, but I can’t find it anymore. Could you please point me in the right direction? I am looking for a script for Kobo Clara HD. Thanks! |

Edit: Couple of quick items from old notes The battery information on the Clara HD is located in /sys/class/power_supply/mc13892_bat/ and quite a few of the items used in the script are not present. If I'm reading my notes properly, voltage_now and capacity are present. I'm not sure if a version specific to the Clara HD was posted but this information should point you in the right direction.
