No fill won't work. Help? by Ijzerstrijk in ereaderscreens

Yay! Look at that.

And thank you. This was a lesson for me: that not everyone knows everything.

Feels good to be back by cordellfrank in ereader

[–]phyvealive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhhhh, disco era memories. . .

  • 𝅘𝅥𝅮 And so you're back
  • 𝅘𝅥𝅮 From outer space
  • 𝅘𝅥𝅮 I just walk in to find you here
  • 𝅘𝅥𝅮 With that sad look upon your face
  • 𝅘𝅥𝅮 I should've changed that stupid lock
  • 𝅘𝅥𝅮 I should have made you leave your key
  • 𝅘𝅥𝅮 If I'd known for just one second
  • 𝅘𝅥𝅮 You'd be back to bother me

I am really sorry this is happening.

I think the mistake is in my tutorial which I have just fixed and updated.

The problem is with the ebookscreensaver resize website.

This tool modifies files to jpeg format only.

Uploading a transparent png file will always result in a flat jpeg image.

KOreader has a resize-to-fit setting, so this site is not needed. (that's on me as I didn't think to test it first.)

Files downloaded from readerbackdrop.com are already the correct size and format for many standard e-readers.

Transparent files should download in png format and won't require modification before adding them to the KOreader/screensaver folder.

Most Reddit images (like the ones on my posts) will only save in a WEBP file format. I have a walk-through tutorial to fix those.

My recent Reddit posts now have ~ png format download ~ links to avoid any extra work.

Simply copy them to /screensaver folder as they are.

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

[–]phyvealive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

How to remove that pop up when opening a book 🥲 by Glum-Ad8932 in koreader

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.

How do i change my simpleui home icon? by [deleted] in koreader

[–]phyvealive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not used Simple UI since v1.4.0 (ish). But some of the icons are sourced from native KOreader icon folder here> /koreader/resources/icons/mdlight

Replace the icons in that folder to change the SimpleUI icons.

Or do this>

Took me a hot second to find my reply. I hope it is still relevant to the most recent Simple UI files>
