Updated my Kobo Glo with FW 4.14.12777 and patched. Everything is working fine. Thanks, geek1011!
Awaiting GeoffR's updates on 24 line spacing values. |

Once you add ParentalControls=true to the [FeatureSettings] section of .kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf, you will find a new Parental Controls section in Settings->Accounts. You will be able to set a PIN, which is stored in the MBR of the SD card (so you can't remove it over USB, although I can make a patch to disable it if you forget your PIN). When parental controls is enabled, a new icon for it will appear in the status bar to the left of the light. Parental controls removes Kobo Store from search, disables all web browser related things (including opening links from books), hides pocket, disables stats, cleans up the home screen, and hides all Kobo services (recommendations, store, wishlist, buy, etc, related books). Existing books will remain. Enabling parental controls is almost entirely cosmetic (things are hidden, not removed) and will return to normal after being disabled (you won't lose stuff).

Could you please add "Font-family and font-size bulk change" into this patch?

Thanks a lot for the patch!
This time, I activated for my Kobo Touch (A), for the first time, the "Set swipe to unlock" patch, but nothing happens when the device is in sleep mode and I'm wiping on the screen. Did I misunderstand something in the function of this patch? Or does it simply not work for Kobo Touch? |

"Browse fiction, romance, biography and more CATEGORIES" At the bottom of the screen, which still takes you right to the Kobo Store if you are connected to Wifi. So, at least on the Aura One, the new "feature" is not very useful at the moment. |
