Newer Kobo firmware supports Dark Mode though your Clara HD will need to use NickelMenu to enable/disable it, The same for Inverted mode. Dark mode is strictly for reading and does not invert images but does require a reboot. Invert is like night mode and inverts everything though it does take a reboot to enable/disable (the NickelMenu entry does this automatically).
The Kobo version is 4.38.21908, 20230822.

I have NickelMenu installed, but it doesn't seem to work. I can see the menu icon at the botton beside Home, My books, Discover and More. When pressing it a square with NickelMenu inside shows up, and pressing this another bigger square shows up and then dissapear. Inside it says something like See KOBOeReader/.addons/nm/doc... Then I can't read more of the text.


I am using Calibre 6.29
I also get the suggestion to update Calibre to 8.01

Is it safe to just update Calibre, or will it remove plugins, settings, for example, my shelves, sortings, and other things I might not even remember now. I have also installed DeDRM removal, KoboUtilties. Is Quality Check a paert of Calibre standard or a installed plugin?
