It's even better when I don't forget to actually attach the file
![]() A couple of notes to the Touch users used to the simple_screensaver hack: * No need to uninstall it, the install process will take care of it. * No need to bother with naming the files properly, the hack will take care of it. The only requirements are valid, properly sized grayscale PNG files. (And the same 'max 100 files' limitation applies, although you can safely dump a shitload of stuff in the screensavers folder, the hack will take care of trimming down the fat ![]() There *might* be some issues left in random mode, where it'll possibly delete some screensavers during the reboot, but, hopefully, I took care of it. (In 'normal' mode, there shouldn't be any issue). Last edited by NiLuJe; 10-31-2012 at 05:10 PM. |

Thank you! I was able to install my own screensavers on my Paperwhite, BUT they don't fill the entire screen... there is a border of whatever page I was viewing before going into sleep mode. The border seems to be 3/8" on the sides and 1/2" on the top & bottom.
My images are all png, and are all 600x800 (the same images I have used for all of my previous Kindles...) Any idea why the images appear smaller/have been resized? I can't figure this one out... Last edited by etiz; 11-01-2012 at 01:48 AM. |

The paperwhite is 758x1024, as documented in the Kindle User's Guide for the Paperwhite:
http://kindle.s3.amazonaws.com/Kindl...sers_Guide.pdf Quote:
To fill the screen with no borders, you need images of that size (758x1024). |

Thank you NiLuJe installed perfectly on my Paperwhite, hoping to help Jackie_w (if she has time and is still willing to) update the "copy cover to device" plugin for Calibre to support this hack.

@Akirainblack: It's the exact same paths as the K2/3/4 hack, so, provided the autoreboot feature is enabled (and working), it should work without changes to the plugin

I didn't think they had the same resolution as the Paperwhite NiLuJe
![]() Knowing Jackie_w she'll be willing to make it resize the images so they display properly. ![]() ![]() |

@Akirainblack: Heh. Of course!
Remind me not to post before breakfast next time ^^. I can make the hack do something (like create a specific file?) to help ID a PW if she wants, or she has a few other choices: * Checking the name of the existing files in the linkss folders: bg_xsmall_ssNN.png on the Touch, bg_medium_ssNN.png on the PW. * Go the whole S/N detect way like I did in the Collections plugin tweaks. * Provided that 5.2.x never gets ported to the Touch, for now, there's a version.txt file in the system folder that's not there on the Touch. On a sidenote, I'm looking at actually implementing this on the Kindle side... No promises for now, but I'm looking at ways to do it... |

Cool, thanks for the info and the offer.
![]() Can't wait to get all my covers onto my new kindle. Is there a way to get some of the stock pictures as well as your screensaver? |
