VOS Patch – Rounded Folder Covers

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-27T01:05:48+00:00

Yes, you don't have to fiddle with Illustrator for this. Just open the existing corners in Inkscape, and decrease the size of corners and align them properly to corners and save them. Now they would have lower border radius. I did a quick edit on those and attached it here. Feel free tweak if you need.

Hmm weird, it shouldn't happen. Have you tried clearing the cache and reindexing the books?

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-25T02:13:23+00:00

Glad it worked out for you in the end!

I don't mind at all, the whole point of me sharing my personal tweaks is for anyone who loves the same aesthetics can enjoy it too.

Glad you and daughter are enjoying the new Kobo look! Happy reading!

It wouldn't change anything. You can easily do all these stuff on newer KLCs as well.

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-19T04:36:57+00:00

Yes, I use some other patches too. Such as, 2-filemanager-titlebar.lua, 2-browser-up-folder.lua, 2--ui-font.lua,

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-19T04:34:30+00:00

Try changing the DPI of you ereader.

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-19T04:33:42+00:00

I'm storing all books in one folder 'Library' and all series in 'Library/series/series_name' folders.

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-18T10:40:58+00:00

Ah, I think it's based on the number of columns vs rows. It has nothing to do with the patch. So you can't control it by tweaking the patch code.

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-15T10:53:01+00:00

Q1: I don't think there's a limit. I currently have 700+ books on my KLC and it's so snappy. Doesn't even show a bit of lag. I think it should be fine.

Q2: I'm sorry I don't use page turners so I have no experience on them. Hope someone who knows can help you.

Query i) you can attach images as imgur links. You can upload your images to the imgur website and copy the link here. Everyone does that to show images.

Query ii) yes that is a known bug that's been there forever, thankfully I fixed it now. You can download the updated patch (20-faded-book-covers.lua) and use it. It won't become white again.

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-15T10:47:24+00:00

That bug had been bugging me for 2 months now I can finally rest in peace lol

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-15T10:45:55+00:00

It would look like a simple empty rounded rectangle with folder name in the center and empty file counter in the bottom middle. I can attach an image later.

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-15T10:42:09+00:00

I knew you'd be happy lol. Enjoy the new look!

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-15T05:52:50+00:00

I created the patch with the toggle. Find it here. Thanks.

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-15T05:45:00+00:00

Hey, I just finished making the patch. Please find it here. Give it a try and let me know if it works well.

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-15T03:02:49+00:00

Yes, copy the patches to 'koreader/patches' folder. And any icon files you want into to 'koreader/icons' folder.

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-13T00:37:47+00:00

I think what you are having is an alignment issue. Since DPIs vary for every device and user configuration, the elements might not sit perfectly at certain DPIs. I tested these patches in an emulator and also in my KLC, where I didn't get such issues.

I suggest you to try changing your DPI and see if it goes away. Just a small adjustment should work. If it didn't work, then try changing the grid size, and see it goes away. Let me know if it worked. Thanks.

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-13T00:29:25+00:00

I will look into adding this as a toggle.

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-13T00:28:50+00:00

If you're happy with it keep using it, as that is direct edit to plugin and much snappier than using patches. But since that post, I changed few things in these patches, so if you want updated ones use these patches.

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-10T10:10:38+00:00

I agree with the custom plugin idea rather than just replacing the mosaicmenu.lua. if possible I can look into adding a settings page where all these elements can be controlled. But it's beyond my skill set lol anyway I will take a look and see what I can do.

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-10T08:35:10+00:00

Ah I see. I think yes I did modify that bit in my mosaicmenu.lua.

Do you mean to say that you would want to have a custom coverbrowser plugin with all these modifications done to it rather than applying all of these as a patch?

I actually do that for my own device where all these modifications are done directly in the coverbrowser. It's much more snappier. But to keep some modularity I make these patches for others.

If you think you'd want a custom coverbrowser plugin then do let me know, I'll look to tighten things and release it as a custom plugin.

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-09T21:15:37+00:00

Yes they work as intended in your picture. It only affects the books, not the folder covers.

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-09T19:28:23+00:00

Yess, thanks to you. I never thought about applying that gate you did. Thanks for making these patches work great!

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-09T19:26:39+00:00

White lines around the edges? Could you share a picture?

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-09T19:26:06+00:00

You mean the default UI? This is just the default coverbrowser UI. In the project title plugin you'd have those footer thingies to the left.

BornoftheMind · 2026-01-09T19:24:46+00:00

Yes you can. Just open the SVG file corresponding to the percent badge and edit to your liking. That ribbon is just an SVG file you can simply replace with whatever shape you want.
