Hi,

it was a little bit tricky, but now it works on my Glo HD, too. One thing to keep in mind is the option

timeout =

This is set to 7 in the default ini-file. This means, that you have to move the brightness-slider on the Kobo to the defined value (e.g. 3%) and wait for 7 seconds, before something happens. I think this is the reason for me to think that it wouldn't work, initially: I simply didn't wait 7 seconds. Another problem is, that it is very tricky to set the slider to exactly 3%. So I have defined multiple values to switch. Here are my brightness-settings:

[brightness]
1percentPatch = yes
timeout = 2
0 = toggleNightMode
5 = toggleNightMode
10 = toggleNightMode
100 = toggleNightMode

Best regards from Germany,

Heiko
