Kobold 1.2

Instant return after closing a book, new icons, redesigned popups and settings, a Wi-Fi switch, and a cleaner Series tab.

New

  • Instant return after closing a book, with no flash of KOReader's file browser
  • Opening and closing panel, an optional "Opening Book" / "Closing Book" panel instead of KOReader's messages. Off by default, turn it on in Settings
  • Wi-Fi switch in the Wi-Fi popup to turn Wi-Fi on or off, plus a Wi-Fi Settings link to pick a network
  • Book menu on Home, hold any of the 4 recent books for the same menu as the "..." in My Books
  • Setting tooltips, tap a setting's name to see what it does

Improved

  • New icons for the status bar and navigation bar, white on black in night mode
  • Popups have square corners and an arrow pointing at the icon that opened them
  • Settings is a compact panel that fits more per page, with a page bar on the side
  • About is now a panel like Settings
  • Series tab shows the author and book count, with a small stack above the cover for series with more than one book
  • Battery shows its charge level while charging, with the lightning bolt on top
  • Home keeps the same collection and covers instead of changing them every time you close a book
