This patch thread is for firmware 4.18.13737 (0f26e9d78c8564081468817aa796dcea05114055):
Instructions for patching on Windows, Linux, or macOS with kobopatch:
If you aren't currently on 4.17.13337 or newer, you'll probably want to take a look at the 4.18.13694 patch thread, as it includes many large changes, additions, and removals. Last edited by geek1011; 11-09-2019 at 08:30 PM. |

New patch - "Custom page navigation scrubber"
This patch allows you to customise various parts of the new 'scrubber'. The 'scrubber' is the navigation/progressbar which pops up at the bottom of the screen when you tap to bring up the in-book menus.
It will be of most use to those who read books in languages not officially supported by Kobo, e.g. Russian, Vietnamese, where Kobo's default Avenir font is a poor choice for displaying the necessary unicode characters for chapter names. It can also be used by those who just want to change the scrubber's cosmetic appearance. Part 1: Customise these 3 buttons: - Left & Right 'Back to page nnn' - Current chapter name (bottom left, next to TOC icon)
Part 2: Customise central 'Page x of y' label
N.B:

New patch - "Custom new header/footer font"
This patch allows you to change font-family and/or font-size in the new header/footer. They will automatically be a matched pair.
It will be of most use to those who read books in languages not officially supported by Kobo (e.g. Russian, Vietnamese) where Kobo's default Avenir font is a poor choice for displaying the necessary unicode characters in Book title and Chapter name. It can also be used by anyone who wants to change the cosmetic appearance of each book page. This patch and patch Reduce new header/footer height should cover all the options which used to be available in the old patch Custom reading footer style. Users who would also like to see their header/footer not forced to UPPERCASE should look for new patch Don't uppercase header/footer text. Part 1: Customise font-family Part 2:

Short answer is: we don't know for sure, as quite a few things potentially outside of our/the end user's control can and will mess with it.
Long answer is in a note in the patch in question ![]() |

Beautiful work guys, many thanks.
Jackie, I commend you on your book selection. Maurice Druon is the best! I have read Les rois maudits I don't know how many times. |

Hi jackie_w, you wrote this:
Image 2: Shows the same book after patching with cosmetic customisation. - in 1. set font to sideloaded Trebuchet and set text colour to mid-grey so it fades into the background more. How can I add text colour in this patch?. What line? Thanks |
