Good job Yoq and Kevinshort !!! really !!!

Kevin you have written and done this last time :
You have to use the Kobo Tweaks plugin to use the frontlight program. After you install the plugin, add these lines to kobotweaks.ini (in the .kobo folder on your Glo):
Code:

[CustomCommands]
Frontlight=tweaks.executeSystemCmd(\"/mnt/onboard/frontlight 1\")

That assumes that the "frontlight" program is in the main folder on your Glo.

Just a note: while this program does let you set the frontlight to a lower level, there is really hardly any difference at all between the Glo's default lowest brightness and this program's lowest.
[CustomCommands]
Frontlight=tweaks.executeSystemCmd(\"/mnt/onboard/frontlight 1\")

Now is it possible to do the same with your update to simplify the procedure to be used by "normal" users ? I wanna mean that it could be integrated in a plugin called "kobo night mode v2 plugin" ("v2" should be the version) ?
Guys, what do you think about it?
