Adjust display area of Koreader to account for broken screen
Hi there!
My Kobo Aura (2nd edition) has a problem where a certain spot on the top right corner keeps being pressed randomly (this was after catching a bit of water). Other than this, it is still working fine. I would like to adjust the workable area of the Kobo to avoid the top 50-100 pixels. I followed the instructions in this thread suggested by the user tshering to change the following in the file koreader\frontend\device\kobo\device.lua viewport = Geom:new{x=0, y=100, w=758, h=914}, However this did not work, as it seems that what this changes is the display only, but not the actual location of buttons. What I mean is that now there is a mismatch between where I press on the screen, and the location of the press the kobo detects. Is there a way of changing also the location of the buttons, not just the display? |

Glad to know that! And thanks for looking into it. When do you think it will be fixed?

It's fixed in current nightlies (and the new release is somewhat imminent, so you needn't be afraid of running a nightly).
