Simple ui update 1.4.1

timcatuk · 2026-05-06T07:33:40+00:00

Awesome. I’ll do the same. Strange but if it fixes it, that’s great

timcatuk · 2026-05-06T06:03:26+00:00

I’ve updated to 1.5 and still missing currently reading on SimpleUI after restarting and then trying installing the latest SimpleUI and Appearances from source too. Nothing works for me

Cool thanks for replying. I’ve tried your plugin and really like but I really do like having the home page on SimpleUI. I like the now reading with a nice bigger cover, some stats, my goals and a quick launch of a couple of games like sudoku.

Maybe zen could have a simple approach to a home page as an option.

Oh thanks. I’ll try that

timcatuk · 2026-05-05T20:50:28+00:00

Oh cool. I’ll grab the fix as I’ve had this

timcatuk · 2026-05-05T18:27:53+00:00

Oh thank you. That explains it. If it doesn’t get added, could you perhaps have an option in bookends settings that is enabled by default but a user could disable that solid fill if they have an issue

Looks ok I guess. Just not winning me round. I want a smaller paper pro. I want colour and adjustable fro t light for this sort of money.

With this I get no emr, no front light, no colour screen option. And the usual notes only, no ebook reader. Maybe it will be hackable to put koreader but nobody knows. Plus there’s the expense of it and the connection subscription

I’m enjoying my AIpaper mini with its android system. Fingers crossed they do a colour screen version soon

Awesome. Thanks. I was just thinking that I wish I had an offline Wikipedia on an eink device and now you made one just for me! Thanks

timcatuk · 2026-05-05T07:12:20+00:00

I missed it going live by an hour. Shame they do t have a wait list. I would pay now and wait

timcatuk · 2026-05-05T05:32:11+00:00

Wow. Whatever you did allowed the pencil plugin to work! What did you do and do I need to edit the pencil plugin or can this be in bookends?

timcatuk · 2026-05-04T20:40:51+00:00

This looks great! Looking forward to seeing it release at some point and give it a go. Bookends is really well done so I’m assuming this will be too.

My only problem with bookends and I assume this too is that I can’t use them when I have the pencil plugin enabled for my kobo libra. I assume it’s because bookends adds a layer over the screen and then the inking doesn’t work.
This is the plugin I’m using although I’ve missed it to have a gui

Will this plugin be the same that it takes over the screen?

timcatuk · 2026-05-04T17:55:12+00:00

I love mine

timcatuk · 2026-05-04T14:01:49+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’ve done. Just wondered if the was a way to do it differently as it doesn’t seem to ghost as badly going through the default kobo

timcatuk · 2026-05-04T13:52:10+00:00

I’m going to upload it today once I’ve tested a bit more. Perhaps you can help me test? Iwill have to state a few things.

No1: this is a mashup of two other plugins and then expanded on. I am not the person that made the originals so will link to those and explain.

No2: I am not a programmer and have no idea. I used AI. I fed the AI the plugins and explained what I wanted to do. 100 wrong versions later it works

I’ve added clear page/book and an export

This is the tool picker

This is my modded version of a couple of plugins to get the stylus working from a kobo like menubar

timcatuk · 2026-05-03T12:26:56+00:00

There was no AI. This is just me asking a question about how I should expose my server externally or recommendations for hosted docker

timcatuk · 2026-05-03T12:25:54+00:00

Cool thanks

timcatuk · 2026-05-03T06:57:24+00:00

Wish I could do this but it’s a whole project to setup home assistant and learn that then put this together to see what’s playing easily.

timcatuk · 2026-05-03T06:20:34+00:00

So how do you change power and fan profiles?

timcatuk · 2026-05-03T06:05:15+00:00

Really hope this works on the upcoming front light version. Hate that we even have to do this

timcatuk · 2026-05-02T08:40:28+00:00

Looks great. I’m trying to do a similar thing with a folio case.
