ONYX BOOX Palma Viewport

[matt08-prog]

• KOReader version: 2023.10
• Device: ONYX BOOX Palma

Issue

The Bezzel at the top of the screen hides the bookmark icon and the Alt Status Bar.

Steps to reproduce

Enabling the Alt Status Bar causes it to get cut off on its sides. Without the Alt Status Bar, only the very corner of the bookmark indicator is visible.
This issue can also be seen in a recent post from the KOReader subreddit.

The Palma's screen specs are:
Display type (e ink) - HD Carta 1200
Display resolution - 824x1648 (greyscale)
Display size - 6.13'' (15.5702 cm)

Onyx is getting real mean with these bezels...

Look up here in KOReader issues about how to modify viewport. I think I saw a user-patch once

Yup, we expect a rectangle.

We workarounded the main, supported, status bar by using material design guidelines.

Not sure if it's possible to do the same on the alt bar. Also not sure we might to encourage to hack on the alt bar :/

Won't fix, patches welcome.

You can try wm overscan, some discussion here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4152773&nojs=1

However, this will offset all apps, not only KOReader :D

Unfortunately the Palma comes with Android 11 which doesn't allow wm overscan.

Ah, bummer.

Then your best bet for now is to:

• set larger margins, both for reflowable documents and muPDFs
• Move to using bottom status bar, ehich you can set higher when needed.

At least for reading books this should be enough. Top status bar is white old and unsupported anyway.

wm size did fix the bezel issue and is what I will be sticking with. Unfortunately, it broke the input fix for BOOX devices but at least I can see the entire screen now. Thanks!

You can try adjusing these input values as well :D they just shifted
