Edit: No tweaks needed, I'm just glad to have a clock visible

New release 0.2.0 is out, and can be downloaded here. This adds the previously discussed adjustable margins feature.

As mentioned in the release notes, the uninstall.txt file can be deleted, because uninstall is now the file used to trigger an uninstall of NickelClock.

Using v.0.2.0, the clock would revert to default position when I turn on dark mode while reading. If i hit Back to Home and get out of the reader and then reopen the book again, it returns to custom position.

You're right, thanks
I just didn't want to appear ungrateful.

Now there's room for a little battery percentage next to it.

Is it possible to add that to this clock too?

I'll investigate this later today. Hopefully I can figure out a way to handle this. Thanks for the report.

I'll have a look to see how complex this will be. If I can't do percentage, it might be possible to use the icon.

The icon is fine if possible.

To add to my observation and experience. When turning to darkmode, the clock position reverts to default automatic position. Going out of the reader and reopening the book fixes the clock position. Switching from darkmode to normal mode reverts the click position to default automatic position as well and the solution is the same.

It would be great if you could find a simple way to include battery level.

Can confirm dark mode switching causing margin reset and requiring reopening book.

If battery level is added.. please make this optional (configurable on/off) for those of us who like to keep our header and footers neat.

Absolutely would be configurable.

Your github examples show the time and x/xx (pages). My actual reading page (on Libra 2) shows e.g. Chapter Four <title of chapter> x/xx and then the time, which with a longer chapter title, appears like x/xx9:15 (pages/time run together). I can reconfigure to show time in footer, but when kobo shows it by default, it appears in the header, so I'd prefer it there consistently. Is there a setting I'm missing to avoid displaying the chapter number and/or title?

Thanks for making a clock that's stable/safe enough for a newbie to easily install! (Using ver 0.2.0)

You can change the format of the header in the Kobo reading settings (there are three options, or none). The clock should work with any of them (except none).

Also, the chosen book has an effect. This particular book I'm using has chapter numbers with no chapter name.

Yes, but none of those options are the chapter number or title.

Apparently the books I'm currently reading insist on showing both. Could you possibly show a <space> before the time? If not, thanks anyway, I'll just have to decide if it occurs often enough to warrant moving to the footer.

Chapter headings/titles are, more often than not, longer than the title. You can swap the header and footer via patch so the chapter titles are in the footer position, then use footer location for the clock so it will appear in the header position with the book title
