At first they seemed to work (I tapped on them and the switch happened), but then they simply wouldn't anymore. I've read on some post that you had to use the nickel koreader switch, I tried that and it worked at first, but then something weird happened, I guess I tapped on switchtokoreader.png while on Nickel, and Koreader was on the ko/nickel switch, so whenever I pressed the "home" icon on Koreader, then Nickel started to load, but then (I guess) it read the switchtokoreader.png and looped immediately back to koreader! If I powered off then on, it started to load nickel but looped back to koreader anyway. This went on for a while until, out of desperation, I used koreader's file manager and deleted the PNGs, thus being able to access nickel again. Which leads me to ask...

I admit that this story is to long and confusing. In any case, avoid to have duplicates of the png files, otherwise it will lead to confusion. As for the rest please have a look at the post that I am going to post immediately after the current one.

Was that supposed to enable nightmode on Nickel? That would be awesome. I tried renaming a random png to toggle_nightmode, but that didn't work. Did I do something wrong? Because now none of those pngs work when I copy them back to the Ebooks folder. On my Aura HD they still work fine, though.

Yes, you have to put an image file with the name toggle_nightmode.png into kbmenupngs. I will start to work the second time after you started nickel. See the next post.
