But I want to use it as e-ink dashboard, so it will be cool if you point me how to run scripts or show full-screen images (like the weather dashboards available for kindles).

Thanks
I'm not to date on the older mods for the Kobo, but some are listed in the hacks, tweaks, and mods thread. As for your use, you can probably either write an app in Qt, use the Kobo web browser (there's a full screen mode for it you can enable in the config file), or use fbink to show text/images. Not that the Kobo web browser lacks most HTML5 features and only supports ES5.
