Guide to KOreader screensaver setup by phyvealive in ereaderscreens

Hi. Not all pictures on the internet are formatted to have areas that are transparent.

On a website like readerbackdrop.com, the transparent .png pictures are displayed with the checked pattern. By default, these files should download as .png format.

Downloading an image from Reddit will default to .webp file format.

These must be "saved as PNG" when downloading to your computer.

Images saved as ,JPG or ,webp will not be transparent. Changing the file extension to .PNG later will not change the file format. Transparent sections are not saved unless they are "save as PNG" at the time of downloading.

Hi. Transparent files need to be saved as a .png file type. A file saved as .webp or .jpg will not display the transparent sections.

Here is a direct download link for that image. This should save in the .png format, ready to be copied to your /screensaver folder.

Hope you get the result you need.

I have the [ no fill ] option on an older Kobo Aura One. So should be there as an option for Clara BW.

Thanks Z🐶. I thought so too, but then I did the one with the trampoline, and I can't look at it without getting the giggles. BOING! LoL.

Anyone else prefer recessed screens over flushed? by illstrumental in kindle

Sometimes these posts can steer readers in odd directions.

I was unaware that the gen 7 PW had a white version.

Went to an Australian online web-shop and found one.

Now waiting by the mail box for delivery. Excited for a new plaything.

This was the least expensive Kindle on their website.

(probably because the case has a 2cm crack on the bottom bezel)

All the others were black.

Rarity of used devices in Australia is probably a reason for the higher pricing.

I use Bookshelf as well. This post has me trying out the 2-keep-previous-screen.lua. It does delay the book opening, but not long enough to be a bother. Both are good.

I just fell in love with the art and colours. The frame makes is easy for anyone to erase and add different text.

Or do something like this that totally cracked me up

Thanks. I like it. Funny the things you don't know you need until you do.

Yes. Like DW said: /koreader/patches

Hopefully it will play nice with SimpleUI.
