Thanks for this, just what I was looking for. Works great on the Glo running version 2.5.2

As an aid to fellow users that may be a little daunted by the instructions I've written the following to hopefully help them out.


First open a text document in notepad and name it kobotweaks.ini and copy the following text into it and save it
Code:
[Global]
compatFirmware=2.5.2
scriptSocket=true
dumpLayout=false
24hourClock=true

[Tweaks]
hideShop=true
hideWishlist=true
showCustomCmds=true
directShelvesAccess=true
directLibraryAccess=true

[Reader]
showProgress=true
tweakFooter=true
showClock=true

[CustomCommands]
Toggle Night Mode=tweaks.executeSystemCmd(\"/mnt/onboard/.kobo/nightmode.sh\")
Reboot=tweaks.executeSystemCmd(\"busybox reboot\")
KPV=tweaks.executeSystemCmd(\"/mnt/onboard/.kobo/kindlepdfviewer/kpdf.sh /mnt/onboard\")
Scribble=tweaks.scribble()
Launcher=tweaks.executeSystemCmd(\"/mnt/onboard/.kobo/KoboLauncher/KoboLauncher.sh\")
Sleep=tweaks.sleep()
Reading Life=tweaks.readingLife()
Connect Kobo to USB

Copy the kobotweaks.ini file you've created to the .kobo folder

Copy koboroot.tgz to folder on Kobo called .kobo

Eject reader from USB and allow it to reboot and install

Check that KoboTweaks is working by going to the home page, select Libary/books/homepage and you should have a new submenu appear 'Tools'

Connect Kobo to USB

Now open screenInv/installer and and put koboroot.tgz from here into the .kobo folder.

Select 'Tools' and invert screen selection, or hold light button for two seconds to invert screen.


I know I'm late to the party, but hopefully the above will help anyone else thinking of using this fantastic feature.
