Nice! That ties in nicely with my icon set and was better than the one I had attempted/modified.

Is that reboot app a shell script that calls reboot? That's a useful one

Next project is trying to integrate dark mode to light schedules

Yeah, a short and sweet one too!

Code:

#!/bin/sh

picview=/ebrmain/cramfs/bin/picviewer.app
bootlogo=/ebrmain/logo/bootlogo/PocketBook.bmp

$picview "$bootlogo" & iv2sh reboot

Launches an image to view which then freezes as the system restarts. A very hacky restart splash screen.

Did anyone play with a modified Line.cfg (extracted from Line.pbt and placed into the "system/resources/Line" folder)?

I was able to edit the C code from this pbres.c file https://github.com/Enyby/pbres. I got the CFG from it but all the bmps came out fully black. Didn't try to to put the cfg in though

Yes I am lol buying technology that perfectly suits me has been an issue

I think the bitmaps are not black but a special PB format though I didn't figure out how to view them. My versions of pbres extract the cfg file without any problem but only a small part of the the bitmaps and than stops due to some error. But I get a full list of the content of the skin file (line.pbt).

jrw174 · 08-11-2023, 09:23 PM

Still no luck with the pbres decompiler but not giving up just yet.

The BMPs are fully black but do have data in them. I believe the pbres decompiler is messing up the transparent part...

For the Era, the icons are listed as 110x110 so I'll give those sizes a shot tomorrow.

Icon squares of 96-100 pixels seem to be the sweet-spot for the HD3.

Made a load of icons over the last few days.

My Home screen and App Menu now:

Trying to figure out how to change the Apps icon. "apps.json" suggests it's referenced as "SYS_Apps", but trying to assign an image to this in "view.json" just errors.

EDIT: The Apps icon can be updated by saving icons here (same location as sleep image):
/mnt/ext1/system/resources/Line/desktop_app_apps.bmp
/mnt/ext1/system/resources/Line/desktop_app_apps_f.bmp

I've attached my icon, sleep screen image and view.json files.

I own an Inkpad 3 Color and have installed the latest stable KOReader as well as the latest nightly build. For both of them I end up with two icons in section "User's". One is named "@._koreader" (clicking on it leads to the home screen of the reader) and the second one is named "@koreader", which opens the app.

Does anyone know how I can get rid of the unnecessary @._koreader icon?

Can you see a file with that name in the applicaions directory? Make sue you have hidden files visibility enabled.

InkPad · 12-26-2023, 10:23 AM

There is no hidden file in the application or bin directory, just the files extracted from the installation zip file (see screenshots). Hidden files are visible, though, otherwise I can't see the "system" folder on the Pocketbook.

neil_swann80 · 12-26-2023, 11:25 AM

Try saving a text file to applications, then renaming it to ._koreader.app

Reboot, delete the file, reboot... Still there?
