Customization

Once installed the user has access to 3 sources. This means you can have access to 3 different Kavita servers.
On each source, you can set up different OPDS URLs and different filter preferences. By default, these are differentiated with a number. 1, 2 and 3. You can change each identifier with your own name.

To change the name of the source

Follow the same process used for OPDS but tap “Source Display Name” instead.

Advanced customization

The extension offers extensive customization. There is no breaking settings so you’re free to play around with them. Here is a description of each option.

Tags Grouping

This is only for forks. This does not work with the original Mihon. This will turn your genres/tags list into organized categories, like so:

Dynamic Cover Updates

Everytime your title is refreshed, it will check what Volume/Issue you’re currently reading and sync the cover.

EPUB Visibility

This is disabled by default because Kavita Epubs can’t be read in Mihon, but you can enable it if needed here.

Reading List: Display Release Date

When enabled, the extension will display the original Release Date of the chapter instead of the date it was added to your Kavita server.

Chapters: Display Release Dates

When enabled, the extension will display the original Release Date for individual chapters instead of the date the chapter was added to your Kavita server. This is useful for accurate chronological sorting.
