I would like the readers at the top and some separators (see attached pic for a Mockup).

Look at the function
setoptions() in etc/init.d/rcS. There, the individual menu options are collected into the variable
moptions. Here you can change the order. I don't have any idea yet about the separators.

A quick solution would be to move the frontlight option to the main menu. In order to do this, add "frontlight:menu.png" to
moptions. Then add after the line
Code:
frontlight )
sh $kbmenudir/scripts/frontlight.msh
;;
This will take you with one click to the front light menu. You need one other click to select the light level, and another to return to the main menu. We can shorten this. In mnt/onboard/.kobo/kbmenu/scripts/frontlight.msh replace
Code:
*)
$frontlightprg "$selection"
;;
Code:
*)
$frontlightprg "$selection"
selection="EXIT"
;;
Now you only need two clicks, one to open the frontlight menu, and the second to select the light level and return to the main menu.
Another possiblity would be to add two menu items to the main menu, say "light_on" and "light_off" (in rcS, moptions). In the
case $selection in block, you could then call /mnt/onboard/.kobo/kbmenu/tools/frontlight with the argument "0" for "light_off", and once with "5" or whatever you think fit for "light_on." In this case it would need only one click.
I did not try any of this my self. So be warned. Be also aware that a mistake in the rcS file might force you to do a factory reset. I would at least make a syntax check (sh -n rcS) before installing it.

I tried to install the menu before and after the patch. No change. The Menu and the readers work fine but without USB support.
So, is this merging impossible? It will look really nice to have an Android option there ...  |
Frankly, I have no idea.
