Yes, I just installed KBStartMenu_04. So it makes it possible to upgrade to fw 3.4.1 without losing any add-on, that's great! By the way, do I need to put all 3 files found in the zip ("upgrade" folder, KoboRoot.tgz and manifest.md5sum) into .kobo? Or only the .tgz?
EDIT: I copied all 3 files, update went fine.

Otherwise, I read that png's wont work anymore in nickel for launcing koreader etc. but on my mini they are still working, only nightmode won't when nickel is launched directly after reboot (alternate).
EDIT: that was true on fw 2.6.2, now on 3.4.1 png's don't work anymore.

So 3.4.1 has nice improvements but I don't like the fact one can't force refresh anymore: on 2.6.2 with one press bottom and then middle screen device refreshed.
