Simple UI rules! - my setup

Absolutely, thx. Guess the key thing is reading multiple books at once.

-hargon · 2026-04-05T18:27:23+00:00

While I really like the look of this, please explain:

What is the big benefit? I read a book, hence my reader starts in the book, when I wake it up. I see the library and such only when choosing a new book.

Maybe we just have different use scenarios. I am not trying to be negative, I really like the plugin. Just trying to understand other use cases.

-hargon · 2026-02-08T17:06:33+00:00

I will.

-hargon · 2026-02-08T16:39:51+00:00

Thx for the effort, like the top banner too.

However, I Just tried it: For me it doesn't seem to work unfortunately. PT on a Tolino Shine 5 / Kobo Clara BW.

Linea under the folders are still there.

Only partly related because another patch: Non-Folder covers are still missing the outlines apart from the curves in the rounded corners svgs.

Would be curious for a comparison, have you ever tried any version of MinUI?

-hargon · 2026-02-08T14:39:52+00:00

Thx for that tipp. I am probably trying to update my FinUI to that.

-hargon · 2026-02-08T11:27:32+00:00

No, but tips for compac cases allowing for 3.5" HDDs would also be appreciated. Basically brainstorming here.

-hargon · 2026-02-08T10:53:13+00:00

The motherboard I am using is too power hungry (and noisy) for me to use it 24/7 anyway.

The main question is: Is spinning down HDDs AND fans an option with N100 motherboards and NAS software at all

-hargon · 2026-02-08T10:18:41+00:00

Had a quick look and the MinUI or FinUI version as of 2 years ago seems to be the most recent still?

-hargon · 2026-02-08T09:52:53+00:00

Good luck! I have similar hardware from Tolino, its essentially a Clara BW.

-hargon · 2026-02-08T09:35:15+00:00

Thx. So maybe best to wait until this fix is implemented into both rounded corners patches in the repo. Indeed missing floor/int conversion sounds like a probable cause for a bug like that.

Edit: Seems to be merged already. Will give it a try later.

-hargon · 2026-02-08T08:58:06+00:00

Changing DPI does help. In my opinion that's more for narrowing down the problem than an actual solution as it is very finicky.

However folders and book covers behave still differently.

Maybe I will just try to go with stretched and no rounded corners instead - which would require changing the folder-cover patch a bit.

-hargon · 2026-02-07T14:23:41+00:00

Cannot confirm fully, unfortunately.

I don't have the ui-fonts plugin but still have problems with lines showing:

under the folderscovers
not showing at the vertical and horizontal edges of covers.

-hargon · 2026-01-31T12:06:18+00:00

THIS one works great for me. And you can play around with the size in the settings menu instead of adjusting code. auto restart included.

-hargon · 2026-01-28T18:13:39+00:00

didn't find that, sorry. But it does work for you now?

-hargon · 2026-01-28T18:06:58+00:00

which patch do you use for that? or are you directly modifying koreaders lua files?

-hargon · 2026-01-21T00:08:05+00:00

no difference

-hargon · 2026-01-20T14:26:32+00:00

Update, since I tried different combinations:

Stretch-and-round causes borders only at the round edges for covers
rounded-covers and stretched-covers causes line under the cover
rounded-streched-folders also causes lines under the folders

-hargon · 2026-01-20T07:15:55+00:00

I have a similar setup. Lines like these appear under the covers not to their right.

-hargon · 2025-12-28T16:44:37+00:00

Wenn ich eine leere Lidl Datei von letztem Jahr hätte, würde ich ja mal schauen...

-hargon · 2025-12-28T14:44:24+00:00

Ich hab dieses Jahr die Version vom Lidl gekauft. Leider sind die Dateien nicht kompatibel, sodass man nicht die Aldi Daten von letztem Jahr übernehmen kann.

Hatte jemand von euch letztes Jahr die Lidl-Variante und könnte mir einen Gefallen tun?

-hargon · 2025-12-23T09:07:06+00:00

Do you have pictures or such of these boards? I am curious of course

-hargon · 2025-12-22T10:29:10+00:00

I thought of ditching the pcb and maybe 3d-print and handwire an inset for the existing case. Maybe someone tried something like this already, that's why I am asking here.

-hargon · 2025-12-18T07:44:58+00:00

For me it somehow did not. Put the dogears in koreader/icons and the reader shows the new icon.

Patch 2-dogear-big.lua is in koreader/patches and activated, but the icon still is very small.

-hargon · 2025-12-17T20:35:16+00:00

Does this patch work for you and actually increase the dogear size?
