Timeisart changed the 11% to 3% to toggle nightmode. Basically change the brightness level to 11% and wait for 7 or so seconds and nightmode will toggle. Ditto with 12% and 13% for the on/off. You might want to double check that you have the newest version from gtalusan's github page. The link today was kobo-nightmode_build13.zip.

To install nightmode, copy the koboroot.tgz file from the installer directory in the .zip file to the .kobo directory, safe eject and watch your Clara restart and install. Once it is installed, you can edit the nightmode.ini file in the .kobo directory to change the options.

Code:
[FeatureSettings]
InvertScreen=true
Many thanks, DNSB !
It is working like a charm on my Kobo Clara HD.

I did not need to force inverted mode in nightmode.ini; simply setting the brightness level to 11% toggles Night Mode on/off.

I really think that Kobo should have included this on the firmware since this hack was first created. This is one the the greatest hacks for the Kobo ereader. Thanks to the people that have created and maintained it!
