Custom CSS Stylesheets for Calibre's Viewer - Page 26

3-WVI · 07-09-2024, 01:46 PM

Hi, I am wondering if it is possible Calibre Viewer to keep 1 or 2 lines per page scrolling?

kovidgoyal · 07-10-2024, 12:08 AM

switch to flow mode and page scrolling will keep a line or two.

Hi Kovidgoyal,

I am already in the flow mode.
When I use "Page Down" or "Page Up" all I get, at best, a line cut in half horizontally transferred from the previous page.

Thank you

ah right yes it is hardcoded to do page height - 10px. You can change that by patching line 166 in flow_mode.pyj increasing the 10 to something bigger.

I cannot find the file with the name "flow_mode.pyj"

my version 6.13 on Debian 12.5

@3-WVI: Note that you are running a calibre version more than a year old. Any fixes/changes are done in the latest version. In addition, the problem you are having might already have been fixed.

Also, distro-supplied versions of calibre are not supported.

Got it! I will try the latest version first and the source code file option next. Thank you.

Can someone help me put some space between the tables and the paragraphs? Thank you very much!

I'm not a CSS expert, but you could try:

table + p {margin-top: 5em !important;}

(I have p + p {margin-top: 0.30em !important;} to add spacing between paras)

It worked! Thank you very much!

At last I bought new PC and could update my Calibre, but I the viewer does not behave. Tweaked margins and text (2-pge layout) to my liking, but after adding background picture the text has no margins. What I'm trying to achieve is the all area covered with image, and text with 10-20 px margins.

On the Page Layout settings, the 'Change the page margins (in pixels) below' seems to set the background area - only with value 0 is all background covered with image (jpg)

'Change the maximum screen area (in pixels) used to display text' also changes the image size, and text area

What Im I doing wrong?.
