You've always been able to do that, even from the OS2008 days:

Change:
Menu->Preferences->Colors->Color for [Background]
Menu->Preferences->Colors->Color for [Regular text].

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
 

The latest version configures the background to light-wheat, like slightly aged paper. I hope just about everyone will find it acceptable, if not pleasant.

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
 

As a big reader and paper book collector, I think an ereader is something I could find useful. I really was just leading the thread, since it was being discussedrather privately without any clue what the application would be used for.

I don't want to assume, so could you tell me why I wouldn't be a candidate as a user of fbreader? We've never met, so it must be something in my profile image? Should I switch to one in a hoodie, or maybe try wearing reading glasses? Curious how you quickly dismissed me like that.

I was hoping for some information on the N900's version, its expected features, etc, so I could possibly report it back to the Maemo Freak community. Would you prefer I didn't do that? Because there is a general interest in the apps under development for Maemo 5. That interest will die if no one is willing to talk about it except among themselves.

thanks for the new build, will try it once garage comes back up. just wondering if there was any functionality to page forward/back using screen taps, like cbrpager. would definitely be a plus for single-handed reading :)

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
 

Yes, it is there, and I have it enabled on my tablet. It is disabled by default in the package (text selection enabled instead), mainly because I have doubts everyone will like the tap pager.

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
 

Well, FBReader exists for the tablets since OS2007, at least. It is a Fremantle Star application that has been in the repositories for quite a while. Pretty much everyone I know has it installed, and had it installed for ages. So, if you have to ask what it is, you probably do not need it.

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
 

Well to be fair... this could be his first tablet-based device... a lot of people weren't interested in the N7/N8XX because they weren't phones. They were more of a geeks toy than the N900.

@qwerty12

Duh, thanks! The little dots are unclear I didnt see the additional menus. Now I can read on the train again until I break down and get an ereader.

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
 

okay. there's not any way to enable it in options is there? anyhoo, just a thought ... :D

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
 

Once again: you can go into FBReader Settings and enable it. This is how I enabled it on my device.
