How to enable nightmode and one of the screensaver hacks (the one using preload)

...

I recommend this to be included in the installation instructions for KSM8, since there are a lot of people using nightmode in nickel
You are right. The information is not easy to find. I wonder how many people might have tried to get nightmode running under KSM 08 and failed.

So here it is: After installing the nightmode hack and/or this screensaver hack, you have to enable it/them with the help of the configuration menu.
In order to enable the screensaver hack select in (KSM home) "configure", in the section [nickel]:
nickelpreload="/opt/cfw/preload/hook.so"
to enable night mode:
nickelpreload="/root/screenInv.so"
to enable both:
nickelpreload="/opt/cfw/preload/hook.so /root/screenInv.so"
