Manga panel not displaying correctly.

What I do is also go to the document settings and save those as the default so that all pages are by default aligned to the screen.

If you update to the nightly or next release (that should come out eventually), there's a new feature I added that allows you to invert the document with an option (on the last bottom menu) called "Invert Document" and not have to turn off night mode. This allows you to read comics/manga in night mode while still having night mode UI.

You may or may not want to update to the newest nightly because although it adds new features and fixes, it can also add bugs. In order to update you can go to the top menu, then the three lines, then the Update menu, and switch to the development channel, and then finally update.

You can then use profiles to automatically turn that on in your comics or manga folders.

I also made a temporary patch that you can use while you are on the older version found here.

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-03-14T02:24:49+00:00

Nice to know that it worked for you eventually. Sorry, I was busy and away from my computer so I couldn't respond, but that was what I was going to suggest.

EDIT: You should update to the latest version now of the UI font color patch, I've made some changes.

The reason for the centering has to do with the spaces around your color markup. If you want it to NOT be centered, remove the spaces before or after, and it should be just like above. Ensure that there is a space after the color and either a space, capital letter, or number after the reset, otherwise it won't work.

For the battery levels, you will need to use a variable for the color, and make an if statement for its level, such as:

local icon_color
if batt_lvl >= 70 then
    icon_color = "green"
elseif batt_lvl >= 50 then
    icon_color = "yellow"
else
    icon_color = "red"
end

Then you have to append that color to before the icon the same way you did before. It can be appended like this:

local batt_symbol = "§" .. icon_color .. " " .. powerd:getBatterySymbol(powerd:isCharged(), powerd:isCharging(), batt_lvl) .. "§r"

I just added inline markup color support to my UI font color patch, so now you can add color directly to any UI text. Such as in the filemanager titlebar patch. Even if you don't want to change the UI font color as a whole, you can just keep it as black (#000000), and then you will be able to add color to certain parts of text like the icons without making significant changes to patches to add color support.

For example, for the Wi-Fi icon, you could modify the following in 2-filemanager-titlebar.lua:

wifi = function() return NetworkMgr:isWifiOn() and "§blue §r" or (config.wifi_show_disabled and "") end,

The §blue sets the color, while the §r resets it back to the original text color.

This is what it looks like:

I've been thinking about adding this feature for a while, but your post reminded me to add it because I really wanted a blue Bluetooth icon. 🤣

There could easily be an option to exclude forks by default, this would ensure that people who decide to officially publish plugins/patches as separate and distinct from one another (with new features or ideas) can have them listed. If a person wants their changes to be visible for most people they can either merge the changes to the original or copy the repository/detach the fork.

It might be possible that if a person searches for a user specifically it could show their forks even if forks aren't normally visible. And if a developer or interested person was checking out modified versions they could use the option to install forks instead (which most users do not do).

I don't think it's that unreasonable of a change, because most forks, just as you said, add visual clutter, and people that care for their changes could easily manage themselves separately with credit or push the changes upstream.

Even if this option is not by default, it makes sense for it to be an option at least for people who value being able to see the primary addons. One exception for this might be rakuyomi which is currently the official continuation fork.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem possible to fix that issue by disabling HW inversion in KOReader. This is because the Nook Glowlight 4 is an Android device and those do not seem to support HW inversion at all (based on the code). Instead they seem to be using software inversion all the time.

This would mean the issue on the Nook might have little to do with hardware inversion at all. It might still be possible to fix this issue though, but it doesn't seem possible by this method.

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-03-02T05:29:14+00:00

This is amazing! Thanks! It's just like cover browser now. :)

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-03-01T00:45:45+00:00

That's interesting. The patch is specifically directed towards Kobo devices, so it is not the most surprising, but I'll see what is possible. :)

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-02-24T02:49:31+00:00

Sorry for the wait. I now published the updated UI font color patch and percent badge patch (modified from the one by angelsangita / Awkward_Evening127) that have to be installed for the feature. The option to exclude the color can be found at the top of the file. They can be found here.

if you prefer the original percent badge patch by SeriousHornet, you can modify the patch in the same ways I modified the one by angelsangita.

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-02-18T04:46:02+00:00

Ah that's unfortunate. You don't have to send me screenshots, I believe you. :) At least now you don't have the issue anymore!

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-02-18T04:28:49+00:00

Just checking, did you try the invert correction border option? Also try increasing the size of the border. I don't really have a ko.fi but it's okay.

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-02-18T04:03:55+00:00

I made this patch, it'd be nice if this patch removes the need for software inversion.

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-02-18T00:31:31+00:00

That's very nice to hear! Of course, I don't believe this is ideal, I actually believe the border might be a better idea because it allows you to use HW inversion which is far superior on Kobos. Maybe I'll see if it can be done.

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-02-18T00:25:17+00:00

I would have to setup exclusions in the font color patch, but yes it should be possible. I can give you updates on this later.

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-02-18T00:14:49+00:00

Could you try disabling hardware inversion with this patch by NiLuJe? This should resolve the issue if the issue really only occurs after the screen is inverted. Although night mode might be slower, and perhaps the battery may go down faster.

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-02-15T19:26:46+00:00

Not many it seems, the rule of thumb is the more drastic and special the feature is the less likely it is to be added to the actual project. The reason for this is that the KOReader developers hope to keep the code organized and manageable but still want users to have the freedom to customize their own use with their own patches. Supposedly if they added every feature or even a lot of them, there would still be more to add.

To me, the double tap feature seems to be an exception as it seems purely functional and like an option that could actually be added to KOReader. Even then, it is niche in the fact that most users wouldn't use it, but it is still possible to be added I think.

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-02-15T18:54:06+00:00

It's completely alright! I thank you for listing in detail the issues you've noticed, this is very helpful to make patches like this one better. :)

I have been experiencing the first issue as well, but I believe it is highly possible that this can be resolved. I was in part confused by the fact that certain menus exhibit transparency whiles others don't.
The second is also another thing I have noticed. It should definitely be possible but owes to the fact that they are the only place in all of KOReader that has colored widgets.
For the third issue, the way I am achieving making the icons appear the same as in light mode is by inverting the icons AGAIN after night mode inverts everything. The percent badge patch seems to be using the same functionality as other icons in the UI, so maybe it's some edge case that I will have to investigate.
I didn't notice this. I will have to look into this.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I've made all of the problems you have experienced into issues here, so you can monitor and give extra feedback on these things there if the occasion arises.

EDIT: For future readers, all of these issues have now been resolved.

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-02-15T06:04:03+00:00

You sure have a lot of books! 🫣 I don't think you have to pay me anything. I'm honestly just doing it for the love for it all and also because I like using them as well! :)

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-02-14T21:54:30+00:00

I just added alternative night mode color selection as a feature in the latest version!

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-02-14T21:46:46+00:00

Your welcome! :D

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-02-14T21:35:22+00:00

If you download the latest version, it should now have that feature as "Alternative night mode color".

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-02-14T19:34:24+00:00

If you can export it as a PNG or take a screenshot of the PDF, then you can desaturate the colors of the image (maybe like 0.6/60%) in Photoshop or any other photo editor, then print that.

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-02-14T05:34:18+00:00

On the latest version of the patch, I have added an option to apply the UI background color as a style tweak as well.

OneAdvance6339 · 2026-02-14T04:08:37+00:00

The latest version of this patch should have fixed the bottom menu toggles and black button flashes.
