What it is
freeColour and laserPen in one purchase, for less than the pair separately ($14 vs $16). They belong together: laserPen's button mounts inside the colour row freeColour builds, so the suite is the natural install.
Every .qmd in the zip is byte-identical to the builds proven in months of
daily use on the author's own Paper Pro — the same files sold on the
individual listings.
What you get
- The full HSV colour wheel over the pen menu — favourites with naming,
hex entry, eight recents, and an alpha-aware
AARRGGBBfield. - The laser pen: presentation strokes that erase themselves newest-first (~1.5 s cadence, up to 20 queued), so you can gesture over a document without leaving ink behind.
- Both owner's manuals as PDFs, and plaintext patches you can read line by line before installing.
How it changes your device
Three plaintext qmldiff patches dropped into xovi's qt-resource-rebuilder
directory, activated by one xovi-safe xochitl restart (the README gives the
exact command). No compiled code, no system files modified; uninstalling is
deleting the three files and restarting the same way.
Caveats
- Requires xovi + qt-resource-rebuilder on-device (free; links in the README). Install freeColour before laserPen — the laser button needs freeColour's colour row to exist.
- Built and tested against firmware 3.26.0.68 exactly; qmldiff patches degrade gracefully (they simply don't apply) on other firmware, but are only promised on 3.26.0.68.
