Patch: `Dictionary text font-family/font-size/line-height
This is a patch which will allow you to customise the appearance of the text in the dictionary pop-up widget and full-screen dictionary page. It can be found in kobopatch's libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml file.
You can customise one or more of the following:
Code:
font-family font-size line-height ----------- --------- ----------- Glo: Georgia 23px 1.4em H2O: Georgia 29px 1.4em GloHD: Georgia 32px 1.4em AuraONE: Georgia 42px 1.4em The first 3 screenshots date from firmware 4.4.9298 when the patch was new:
Note: If you own several different Kobo models it is unlikely that you will be able to find one custom font-size which will look good on all your devices so you may need to run the patch process multiple times with a different settings. Update for firmware 4.17.13694 This update should benefit those who have also installed some of the many custom dictionaries posted elsewhere in the Kobo forum. Custom dictionaries often appear to have many blank lines. The aim of this update is to remove some of that excess whitespace in both pop-up and full-screen dictionary widgets. This update will not adversely affect patch users who only use Kobo's built-in dictionaries. Patch customisation looks pretty much the same as ever. The last 3 attached screenshots are taken from firmware 4.17.13694. Each shows both the pop-up and full-screen widgets for a custom dictionary [Oxford English] 4. unpatched KA1 5. patched Forma: WITHOUT customisation of font-family/font-size/line-height 6. patched Forma: WITH customisation. font-family: Arial, font-size: 32px, line-height: 1.30em Screenshots 4-6 do NOT have my 2nd dictionary patch enabled, Dictionary pop-up - increase available text area. Enabling this 2nd patch would also reduce the header and left/right margins inside the pop-up widget reclaiming a little more room for the dictionary definition Unfortunately, due to Kobo changes, the 2nd patch can no longer increase the box-size of the pop-up widget nor reduce the height of the 'Page x of y' footer.

Keyboard patches (Glo)
Here are some keyboard patches for the Glo, they should also change the keys on other devices but I'm not sure whether they will be arranged in the right order.
Hopefully others can confirm whether it suits other devices too, or else work off the notes in this example to create new patches for those devices. `Cyrillic keyboard` (paste into libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch): Spoiler:
`Arabic keyboard` (paste into libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch): Spoiler:
Edit: I'll add more keyboard patches to this post when I get time. Last edited by GeoffR; 05-15-2017 at 03:12 AM. Reason: Removed `Hebrew keyboard`, see oren64's post below. |

`Hebrew keyboard - for Mini/Touch/Glo/Aura` (paste into libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch):
Spoiler:
`Hebrew keyboard - for AuraHD/GloHD/H2O` (paste into libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch): Spoiler:
`Hebrew keyboard - for AuraOne` (paste into libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch): Spoiler:
Edit: GeoffR I didn't see you add the Hebrew Keyboard. Hebrew Keyboard I post is more closer to the real Hebrew Keyboard, it have the characters that are missing in your keyboard like comma and quotation marks. Edit 2: Multi-version patch: 4.4.9298+ Last edited by oren64; 05-15-2017 at 08:20 AM. |

Keyboard template patches
Here are template patches for the three different keyboard layouts. I am assuming the layouts haven't changed, so let me know if they have.
To create a keyboard patch just replace the right-most value in each of the replace_string lines. Only 1- or 2-byte characters can be used, so keyboards for some languages are not possible. Layout for Mini/Touch/Glo/Aura: Code:
æ œ þ š ž ŀ ƒ μ ª º à è ì ò ù á é í ó ú ý â ê î ô û ä ë ï ö ü ÿ ã ñ õ å ß ç đ ø ij ł Spoiler:
Layout for AuraHD/GloHD/H2O (Top row cannot be changed.) Code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 æ à è ì ò ù á é í ó ú ý œ â ê î ô û ä ë ï ö ü ÿ ã ñ õ å ß ç đ ø ij ł Spoiler:
Layout for AuraOne: Code:
ý ÿ š ž æ œ þ ß ij ŀ à á â ä ã å è é ê ë ò ó ô ö õ ø ì í î ï ù ú û ü ñ ç đ ł Spoiler:

For Glo HD did not fit (Cyrillic) from AuraOne fit, but without the numbers if.

I do in this way:
in .kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf search for Code:
[FeatureSettings] Screenshots=false disconnect take the screenshot with ON key Don't forget to change to false when you done. Good luck! |

Thanks |
