FBReader now working on the FreeRunner

[Michael Sheldon]

Hi all,

I’ve just spent the day hacking on FBReader to make it work correctly 
under OpenMoko (OM2008.*). Until now it’s been pretty much unusable due 
to the GPE version of FBReader expecting you to be using a device that 
has some physical buttons which then get bound to vital functions like 
turning the page. The changes I’ve made are as follows:

     * Add scroll forward/backward buttons to the toolbar
     * Add fullscreen mode button to the toolbar (doesn’t have an icon 
at the moment, it’s the third button from the right)
     * Change fullscreen mode so that it doesn’t hide the toolbar 
(otherwise there’s no way to get back from fullscreen mode)
     * Switch to using the much prettier blue tango icons
     * Make the line separation larger so the text doesn’t overlap
     * Reduce the font size
     * Change the default colours to match openmoko’s colour scheme 
better (and so it’s a little easier on the eyes)

And most importantly…

     * Make it so that tapping the sides of the screen turns the book’s 
pages (left = backwards, right = forwards)

Here’s a screenshot of what it used to look like:

And what it looks like with my patches:

To install it simply run:

opkg install http://mikeasoft.com/~mike/openmoko/enca_1.9-r3_armv4t.ipk 
http://mikeasoft.com/~mike/openmoko/fbreader_0.8.2a-r6+elleopatches_om-gta02.ipk
(all on one line)

For those interested the patch can also be downloaded from 
http://mikeasoft.com/~mike/openmoko/fbreader-openmoko.patch.

Bonus points for anyone who knows what book I’m testing it with in the 
screenshots (without googling) ;).

  Cheers,
   Mike.
