Hello!

I haven't read the whole thread, nor did I try KSM8 yet.
I'm interested in the fmon and kbmenupngs feature. Do I need to install the whole KSM8 or is it possible to just install fmon? Do I have to modify anything (in the script), or just "load and use"?

My "plan" is to add extra features by adding images as menu items, put them in a collection, so they are more easy to access. I don't want to use the "classic" KSM menu, it would be more convenient to use a menu from the stock GUI.
I successfuly edited the title (and author) of the images in the Kobo database, so it's not neccessary to use the original filenames as it does by default. This could be automated with some sql script, but could be dangerous tho...
So which one to chose? KSM, as far as I read, has a more easy to manage solution for running scripts by opening pictures in nickel, but I don't want to change my sleeping and power off screens, and any other stuff. I don't need the koreader, coolreader, pbchess. What I would need is a "notepad", or an editor or something for creating notes and lists, "todo" style maybe, perhaps a calculator, and a calendar would be cool.
I'm planning to write some own apps maybe in QT, but i need to do way more research for doing so.
