Firmware mod: reducing size of the bottom bar (pageometer)

I've played around with the firmware to change the dimensions of the bottom bar in reading mode. See the attached file for a visual result.
The first picture shows a screen shot of the originial firmware 2.5.1. bottom bar
The second and fourth picture show the adjusted page number footer in reading mode.
The third picture shows the menu bar of which the dimensions have not changed (the changes have no effect on the menu bar). Compare with the second picture.
The second and third picture show the modified page number footer in reading mode.

Second image
Code:
ReadingFooter {
	min-height: 40px;
	max-height: 40px;
	qproperty-footerMargin: 20;
}
Third image
Code:
ReadingFooter {
	min-height: 30px;
	max-height: 30px;
	qproperty-footerMargin: 30;
}

To get this to work on the AURA do the above changes and change:

Code:
ReadingFooter[deviceCodeName="dragon"] {
min-height: 120px;
max-height: 120px;
qproperty-footerMargin: 20;
}
to this:

Code:
ReadingFooter[deviceCodeName="eragon"] {
min-height: 120px;
max-height: 120px;
qproperty-footerMargin: 20;
}

What does qproperty-footerMargin actually do?
I played around with it and tried values from 10-599 without any to me visible effect.

Yes, it is enough. I missed that thread completely.

To all: don't post in this thread anymore. Post related messages in the Kobo - fullscreen thread.
