Device: kobo libra colour
Smile Kobo info panel on lock screen contact information

Hey everyone, I'm new here. Just got my first Kobo, the Libra Color. I'm not too savvy with coding and programming. I've noticed that you can customize the menus a lot using plugins. But I'm wondering if it's doable to add contact information on the info panel when it's sleeping (like shown in here: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=htt...e20cad3fdf51c5). Also, it would be neat if we could adjust its opacity.

Not sure how to replace the 'sleeping' with contact information, but it seems feasible, right? Maybe keeping the 'sleeping' text and adding another text in the middle with that info in a smaller font (like in shown in here: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=htt...eb8259333ad050).

I've seen some patches about adjusting the position, size, and opacity of the info panel, but they seem to be for older models, and I'm not sure how to set up my transparency percentage.

I've read suggestions about using a personal screensaver to add this info, but it defeats the purpose of having a color display to showcase book covers. Also, someone on Reddit mentioned adding a watermark to all book covers, but I'm clueless about how to do that. Still, I think adding the name would be a nice touch for the info panel on the locked screen.

My Kobo hasn't arrived yet, so I can't try or test these things. And as someone mentioned on reddit, the patches aren't available for my Kobo Libra just yet. Is anyone else interested in this patch?

I'm still amazed at how many customization options the Kobo offers. I believe it'll be a great upgrade from my Kindle Paperwhite. Cheers
