I am hoping that the developers that came up with both the screen saver and font hack can somehow get both to work with this new firmware version. Especially TedSans, the creator of the font hack because that has made a HUGE difference in the readability of the Kindle for me. The fonts are so much darker and crisper than what is pre-loaded by Amazon. Going to have to sit tight and wait on this.
Just wanted to report success with the revised/updated package with 2.3 and the screensaver hack. I removed the 2.03 with the screensaver hack, did the update to 2.3 manually and then applied the new package linked here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63225 (for K2US in my case) and it all works! No need to remove your custom screensaver images -- they just carry right over, and you get all the new features of 2.3, too. (Haven't had the font hack and didn't try it this time, so can't report on that...)
