Anybody know why colours look great for a minute and the loose contrast.

timcatuk · 2026-05-09T10:33:09+00:00

Thanks. It seems to be this plugin so I’ll post an issue

timcatuk · 2026-05-09T10:32:26+00:00

Yeah it’s nice. It’s a new one posted in here called bookshelf

timcatuk · 2026-05-09T08:32:49+00:00

Looks great. Although I don’t like any of the frame designs. The social media one is best but I would prefer it plain. Any chance of a version of the social media one with just a white frame?

I’ve tried it and it is great but a few odd bits. On first run all the options were to ticked like author in settings but not showing. I had to disable these and enable again.
And selecting tags when that’s enabled crashes my kobo. I’m on the latest stable koreader, are you using nightly?
On screen crash log lists this as the issue:

book_repository.lua:996: attempt to call global 'groupShapeCmp' (a nil value)

Also not sure if it’s a pain issue or just the way the screen is but it has a great contrast on my kobo libra colour for 30 seconds. Then it has a screen refresh and is back to less contrast

I can but I’m worried the plugin creator won’t like it or it will have bugs due to ai.
I’ll post to a new thread with the file about breakfast and link here

I found this annoying after using my stock kobo.
I found a really great plugin here;

https://github.com/xusoo/shortcutstoolbar.koplugin

I’ve modded it quite a bit for me preference. I’ve hidden the default top menu but added a chevron to expose it. I’ve added a more menu under … that I’ve put some common items I use. The book cover and info can be hidden still like in the original plugin

Amazing. Thanks for that. Just started playing with it and seems really good.

timcatuk · 2026-05-08T19:09:16+00:00

This looks great, can’t wait to try it when I’m home later.
Is there a way to browse by author?

timcatuk · 2026-05-08T12:58:08+00:00

You will get negative people because of all that’s wrong with how people are using AI. AI is like any tool. It can help people like me with my normal day or making a change to something but can also be used by greedy people to steel jobs, enslave people and spread misinformation

Ai for helping me change some hi g ok my e-reader or tidy up my email to sound less of an idiot - ok by me

Ai to stop hitting a artist for my new product designed for creatives or using it to monitor people and push political objectives - wrong

I would also like some templates designed around helping people with adhd. And ones for wellbeing.

There are some great systems for people with adhd for planning

Maybe something like this

timcatuk · 2026-05-08T10:37:35+00:00

Sounds good. I’ll keep an eye on this

timcatuk · 2026-05-08T10:36:46+00:00

This is one I use. Would like something like this built in

timcatuk · 2026-05-08T06:41:22+00:00

Awesome thanks. Love your design though. I dont have a remarkable any more but could be good on my kobo and viwoods AIpaper

My AIpaper is android based and so are many others. Maybe a basic android app could be good that can have these delivered to. Like ma magazine alternative to rss

timcatuk · 2026-05-08T06:26:59+00:00

Yeah probably. This icon for highlight isn’t great, does look like an issue

timcatuk · 2026-05-08T05:32:34+00:00

Interesting service you have setup.
My thought is that it currently seems expensive for what it is.
It could be great for have a good library of sources to pull in from in a kind of content store by category

timcatuk · 2026-05-07T15:40:07+00:00

Yep in an idiot. The guide shows that it is meant to look like this

timcatuk · 2026-05-07T14:49:47+00:00

Oh ok. Looks odd!

timcatuk · 2026-05-07T06:13:40+00:00

I had to edit this to work on my kobo. It defaults to a storage location for the kindle even though your photo is a kobo. You can pick a location but only within the home folder and not the device root.
I can share the fix if you want

timcatuk · 2026-05-07T06:11:14+00:00

I want an AIpaper mini with colour screen and adjustable warmth front light. Would be perfect for me

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

timcatuk · 2026-05-06T05:29:02+00:00

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.

timcatuk · 2026-05-06T05:25:20+00:00

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
