Kobo Dashboard (A all-in-one clock, calendar, weather and notification app)

Hello everyone.
The real project I have been working on for a few weeks was a dashboard app.
So here is the Kobo-Dashboard!




Installation:
You need KFMon and NiLuJe's KoboStuff enabled.
Then unzip one of these two packages at the root of your onboard storage:
Dashboard bundled with my (improved) PythonLauncher and WolframAlpha app (OLD VERSION)
Or here:
Dashboard as a standalone package



Sources and manual
https://github.com/Mavireck/Kobo-Dashboard
It should work with both Python2 and Python3, I suggest you install NiLuJe's package because it also requires FBInk.
I only tested it on a H20 First edition, it will probably not work well with any other version (you will need to fix quite a few things).



Some more information if you want to make your own Python app
Spoiler:

PSSM, which allows you to create a GUI app very easily and quickly.


Kobo-Python-Launcher, if you want a automatically-generated launcher to launch your own Python script (or to launch Plato or KOReader)



I hope you will like it!
It is useful to me, so I thought it might be useful to someone else.

Thanks all the Kobo developpers, I used a lot from your code. (Especially for this project : NiLuJe for KoboStuff, KFMon and FBInk, sherman for the osk and the code for handling touch input, and brunolalb for the weather app that motivated me to make my own dashboard (I did get a lot of inspiration from your app), baskerville for Plato and helping me fix the Plato launch from my PythonLauncher, etc...
