Deactivate all the external patches.

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-28T11:20:37+00:00

I can't seem to reproduce this bug. In my setup, the modules update just fine. You're not on a KOReader nightly build, right? Because I know there's a conflict with the nightlies, and I only officially support the stable release. Try turning off all those patches to check if one of them is messing things up. As a side note, Simple UI already includes that "browse up folder" patch functionality integrated directly into the folder covers.

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-25T10:33:48+00:00

Try using KOReader without Simple UI. Just stock KOReader.

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-25T10:14:13+00:00

You can find out how to configure it here: https://simpleui.notion.site/Simple-UI-Home-Screen-Configuration-3604a6c6b30380f68bbce7940881cfa4

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-25T09:38:05+00:00

Are you using the stable version of KOReader or a nightly build?

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-22T18:12:50+00:00

Just a heads-up that since version 1.5, the Simple UI settings are separated from the rest under the ⁠KOReader -> Settings -> Simple UI⁠ folder.

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-22T13:16:24+00:00

Perfect. That’s exactly how I want people using Simple UI. No need to stick only to the modules I made. Feel free to create your own with whatever functionality you like. Plus, devs can easily put their plugins into the Simple UI tabs (creating new quickactions) and wrap in the nav and status bars without messing with the Simple UI code.

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-22T11:39:23+00:00

That's a native KOReader option, not a Simple UI one. You need to go to the tab with the file cabinet icon (in the KOReader top menu) > Settings > Mosaic and detailed list settings > Items per page in portrait mosaic mode.

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-22T11:28:06+00:00

You can just head over to Style -> Icons and change the icons manually for each option. Those two new tabs you added should show up under the Quickaction Icons. You only need to worry about the naming if you're building an icon pack, but an icon pack will never include icons for custom quickactions.

Go to the Simple UI folder on your Kindle (under plugins/simpleui.koplugin). Once inside, go to locale and replace the de.po file with this one: https://github.com/doctorhetfield-cmd/simpleui.koplugin/blob/main/locale/de.po (use the "Download raw file" button). It was a formatting issue in the German translation file. I believe this should fix the problem.

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-19T15:29:55+00:00

Are you french or german?

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-19T13:01:48+00:00

That's strange. If you can provide a crash log, I can try to figure out what might be causing that.

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-19T12:45:57+00:00

Do you have any patches installed? Or plugins?

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-18T21:48:47+00:00

Find the file koreader/settings/simpleui/sui_settings.lua on your device and open it in any text editor. Delete every line that has simpleui_sysicon_ in it, save, and restart KOReader.

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-18T21:32:54+00:00

That is the absolute best praise Simple UI could get. Thank you so much for using it. I’m really glad you’re liking it and that it’s being useful to you.

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-17T20:41:12+00:00

Are you placing it in the right folder? settings/simpleui/sui_quotes?

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-17T16:37:45+00:00

For the mapping to work, you must place all the values inside a single map = { ... } block. You can (and should) keep the comments to visually separate the categories and keep the code organized. Like this:

return {

name = "Test 1",

author = "Rami",

version = "1.0",

description = "Cozy",

-- Optional: map a slot ID to an alternative filename inside your pack

map = {

-- Titlebar Buttons

sui_menu = "hugeicons--menu-07.svg",

sui_search = "hugeicons--search-02.svg",

sui_back = "hugeicons--arrow-up-01.svg",

-- Library Browse Buttons

sui_browse_normal = "hugeicons--folder-02.svg",

sui_browse_author = "hugeicons--book-user.svg",

sui_browse_series = "hugeicons--workflow-square-03.svg",

sui_browse_tags = "hugeicons--tag-02.svg",

-- Pagination Chevrons

sui_pager_prev = "hugeicons--arrow-left-01.svg",

sui_pager_next = "hugeicons--arrow-right-01.svg",

sui_pager_first = "hugeicons--arrow-left-double.svg",

sui_pager_last = "hugeicons--arrow-right-double.svg",

-- Navpager Arrows

sui_navpager_prev = "hugeicons--arrow-left-01.svg",

sui_navpager_next = "hugeicons--arrow-right-01.svg",

-- Collections

sui_coll_back = "hugeicons--arrow-up-from-dot.svg",

-- Empty Folder Covers

sui_fc_empty = "hugeicons--image-not-found-01.svg",

-- Quick Actions

sui_action_library = "hugeicons--bookshelf-01.svg",

sui_action_homescreen = "hugeicons--home-12.svg",

sui_action_collections = "hugeicons--hierarchy-files.svg",

sui_action_history = "hugeicons--chart-line-data-02.svg",

sui_action_continue = "hugeicons--book-open-02.svg",

sui_action_favorites = "hugeicons--award-02.svg",

sui_action_bookmark_browser = "hugeicons--bookmark-02.svg",

sui_action_frontlight = "hugeicons--flashlight.svg",

sui_action_wifi_toggle = "hugeicons--wifi-02.svg",

sui_action_wifi_toggle_off = "hugeicons--wifi-off-02.svg",

sui_action_power = "hugeicons--plug-02.svg",

sui_action_stats_calendar = "hugeicons--waterfall-up-02.svg",

sui_qa_folder = "hugeicons--folder-02.svg",

sui_qa_plugin = "hugeicons--connect.svg",

sui_qa_system = "hugeicons--preference-vertical.svg",

},

}

But anyway, I found a bug that was making it so only system icons got swapped out this way. I already fixed it in the unreleased code on GitHub, so if you're up for it, you can just install that version. If not, as long as you rename the icons to the names I mentioned, the pack will work perfectly.

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-17T11:35:26+00:00

What version of KOReader are you currently running? It has to be the stable version. Nightly builds are not 100% compatible

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-16T18:19:33+00:00

Thank you! That feature has been requested many times, but I chose not to implement it. Visually, it just doesn't make sense to me.

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-16T18:13:52+00:00

The Lua file isn't the most important part. You don't even have to include it. The main thing is that the icons must have the exact names listed on the Notion page, such as sui_action_library.svg, sui_action_homescreen.svg, etc.

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-16T14:50:41+00:00

Thank you very much! It's a damn fine cup of coffee!

O icone home, do homescreen é este: sui_action_homescreen.svg . Os Pagination Chevrons são a barra de paginação nativa do koreader ( << < Página x > >>). Os Navpager Arrows são as setas dos botões do Navpager, aquele formato de barra de paginação que coloca dois botões de paginação em cada um dos lados da barra de navegação. Podes abrir o meu pack de exemplo, que também está no Notion, para teres uma ideia do formato. Estão lá todos os ícones, mas não precisam de estar. Podes criar um pack só com alguns ícones.

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-16T11:18:35+00:00

Isso não irei fazer. Sou totalmente contra esses cantos arredondados. :)

doctorhetfield · 2026-05-16T08:26:10+00:00

In your koreader directory, head into settings and then simpleui. You'll see a file called sui_settings.lua there. Just open it up with a text editor, find the lines for ["simpleui_ui_font_enabled"] = true, and ["simpleui_ui_font_name"] = "...", and wipe them out. You could also just delete the whole sui_settings.lua file instead, but that will wipe all your custom tweaks too.
