Shift dictionary to the bottom
Dear,
I have got an Aura HD, and unfortunately the top part of the screen is now no more functional (drop from 20cm on the floor). It means that approx 1.5cm on the upper part of the screen does not work properly (line ...). I want to keep the e-reader and do not throw it to the garbage. So I used the patch to enlarge the top margin. Thank you, that's great ! So I can still read ebook on it ! but when I want to access to the dictionnary for a definition or a translation, the dictionnary is inreadable since it is located on the top part of the screen. Is there a way to shift it down, so I can see it on the part of the screen still functionning ? Thank you very much Gilles |

Hi,
I post a patch 'Dictionary frame size' here that increase the of size pop-up dictionary. I add the "margin-top: 10px;" to the patch and increase it 110px, see if it fix the problem. libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch Spoiler:
Copy the file "nickel.patch" to 3.xx.x_source folder first. Last edited by oren64; 03-28-2016 at 04:21 PM. |

Dear,
Thank you for your answer. I test it, it works for the size, so I enlarge the size of the pop-up. But how to manage to always locate the pop-up on the bottom of the screen ? because in my case, with our patch, I can still only see part of the definition. How to force the location lower or at the bottom ? Gilles |

OK, forgive me, I'd read to quickly your answer and used your previous patch, correcting only the width and height of the pop-up. However, with your new patch, I got a "find-base-adress string not found" message ...

As far as i know you can't move the move the the dictionary to the bottom.
The margin-top increase the top margin inside the pupup (form the top of the frame to top of translation text). I don't understand why you change the "margin-top:999px;", while pop-up frame height 900px, see (nickel.patch). Use the patch from post #2 it's for Aura HD/H2O. Copy the origin patch "nickel.patch".

I am not sure whether this can help, I tell it nonetheless. Some time ago, when I played around with the dictionary pop-up window, I did some typo. The effect was, that the pop-up window opened always at the bottom. Of course at that time, that was not what I wanted, and so I did not note down what actually triggered it. But I think I faintly remember that I set a to large value for the width of the pop-up window (or maybe for the text field inside the window). In addition to that I do not exactly remember what I did, this happened some firmware versions before the current one. So maybe it would not work anyway with the current firmware.

Hello, thanks for your solution. However, for my firmware 4.5.9587 the patch is very different, I cannot write something like "110px" in there!:
"<Patch> patch_name = `Dictionary frame size - beta8` patch_enable = `no` # Multi-version patch: 4.4.9298 - 4.5.9587+ # find_base_address = `\xB5\x58\x5D\x8F\x9B\x38\x14\x7D\x9F\x5F\x81\x9A` replace_bytes = 0000, B5 58 5D 8F 9B 38 14 7D, B5 58 5B 6F 9B 30 18 7D replace_bytes = 0008, 9F 5F 81 9A D7 46 E2 23, EF AF 40 CB EB 22 71 89 replace_bytes = 0010, 30 21 A3 79 18 69 56 D5, C9 A5 EA 43 A5 4E 53 A7 ..." How can I apply the recommended solution in this case? Thanks for your help. |

Can anyone please confirm if this patch is applicable in firmware 4.5.9587?
If not, are there any other patch that can be used to change the dictionary popup size in Kobo Glo HD? Edit: MY bad, this works. What fabe3 asks is how to customize this. i would like to know too. Last edited by vjjustin; 09-21-2017 at 03:43 PM. |

Are these two patches in the "instructions for patching..." thread? |

No, those patches are for devices when the top part of the screen is no more functional, so you can see the dictinary popup.
