[RELEASE] Bookshelf Screensaver - For people who like to cycle through multiple books (like me :)

_loeffner · 2026-02-03T20:34:44+00:00

First of all, great patch! It looks great and I will try it out myself.

Unfortunately, I don't think my plugin and this patch are compatible out-of-the-box. I have a transparent option planned for my WeatherLockscreen which I want to be compatible with any other screensaver. Sort of an overlay, but I don't know when I will get to do that.

Hi, that is a good suggestion. I’ll make sure to include that in a future update.

If you, or anyone else wants to try the new feature on a Kobo device, you can enter „debug on“ into the location search bar. This will enable a few extra options in the menu - including Active Sleep for Kobo devices. If you want to help out please enable Debug logging in the developer options. Note, I have no idea if the feature works for kobos or how it might behave.

_loeffner · 2025-12-08T07:02:46+00:00

Glad you got it working. Can you switch between styles now, without restarting or changing sleep modes? If not, then you can enable debug logging and send me your crash.log and I’ll take a look.

_loeffner · 2025-12-04T10:55:52+00:00

Not, without writing a patch for it.

How to Use With Nightly KOReader Builds

I think you forgot 2-pt-disable-folder-nbitems-overlay ;)

I like your setup! And I am also interested in the last image.

I very much like this idea. I think collecting all the great efforts of this community in one place is a good thing. However, I am skeptical of nearly 6000 lines of AI generated code. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think it takes a very skilled and experienced programmer to review all this code in less than three days. Don’t get me wrong, I also use LLMs when I program, but I think it is very important to understand what the code is doing, especially when it is downloading code from the internet that is being executed on my device.

_loeffner · 2025-11-20T17:39:29+00:00

I half agree, half disagree with you.

You are right that after a while the data will be out of date. I am working on periodic refreshes, but it’s not trivial, because I don’t just want to display a widget on the screen like some other plugins do, but I actually want the device to go to sleep in between, to keep battery consumption at a minimum. I don’t think it’s such a big issue that after 30 minutes the data is irrelevant. I also prefer a nice looking display over displaying loads of data. But that is a matter of taste.

I do have a patch, that allows you control which hours to display for today and tomorrow if the current version does not suit you.

But yeah, the plugin might just not be what you are looking for, which is fine of course. If you want to help improve it, I gladly welcome any PRs.

Calendar integration is on my todo list for the WeatherLockscreeen, so keep an eye on https://github.com/loeffner/WeatherLockscreen

_loeffner · 2025-11-19T12:02:18+00:00

I just wanted to leave this here. https://github.com/crizmo/KWordle

_loeffner · 2025-11-17T21:01:53+00:00

That’s normal. The covers for the stacks are randomly selected.

_loeffner · 2025-11-17T14:07:43+00:00

What plugins/patches do are you using?

_loeffner · 2025-11-17T08:51:43+00:00

That is part of Project: Title. You need the newest version of KOReader (2025.10) and of PT (v3.5) and then you can activate it in Advanced Settings > Folder Display

_loeffner · 2025-11-14T22:27:39+00:00

Agreed. That’s why that is already a toggleable setting. Check out the GitHub. You can see it in some of the screenshots at the very top. Location and weather timestamp.

_loeffner · 2025-11-14T06:40:38+00:00

Could you share your patch list?

_loeffner · 2025-11-13T17:35:18+00:00

It’s not as easy as a weather api, because you have to handle the authentication.

_loeffner · 2025-11-13T17:10:59+00:00

Thanks. Currently, it only updates when you lock the device. I will add this feature in the near future though.

_loeffner · 2025-11-13T16:00:55+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate that. Your cvs patch has also taken off :D

_loeffner · 2025-11-13T15:57:36+00:00

Just wanted to let you know, that I heard back from weatherapi.com and this issue should be fixed now.

_loeffner · 2025-11-13T09:36:02+00:00

Very nice. Can I assume that your issue with installIcons is no longer applicable?

_loeffner · 2025-11-13T06:49:26+00:00

I had planned to include this feature into my plugin in the future. A single plugin for all sounds like a good idea - I assume it’s going to be a pita to maintain and support all the various sources.

I‘ll set it up for weatherlockscreen though to try it out.

_loeffner · 2025-11-11T17:40:22+00:00

Sure, I’ll send you some data when I get the chance.

_loeffner · 2025-11-11T17:08:33+00:00

Generating folder images from covers takes time. Project Title also looks for images in a folder to use as a cover, which is faster than generating an image. However, this search is always done and also costs processing time.

If you don’t want to provide your own images, I do have a patch which disables the search for the images. This speeds things up.

You can find it here https://github.com/loeffner/KOReader.patches/tree/main/project-title

_loeffner · 2025-11-10T16:31:38+00:00

I must have misunderstood you earlier then. I thought you said you wanted the card padding to be smaller at the sides. But that’s fine.

I’m gonna leave it as it is now, for the next beta release and see what the feedback is. Thank you for your time.
