how to enable nightmode (darkmode)

I was very excited to read on this forum that nightmode can be enabled on the newer Kobo readers, and even is available for the Auro One. I was also interested to find out that invert screen has always been possible with the newer menu.

However I cannot figure out how to enable either. I've gone into settings, enabled beta features, and can find nothing. I also tried the manual edit, which can be accomplished in the .kobo folder. I searched on my Windows 10 PC high and low for such a folder, but could not find it. All that appears in file Explorer, even with show hidden files, is the icon for the kobo app. No matter what I do with that icon, all that happens is that the kobo desktop app opens up.

As another poster mentioned, none of the support representatives at kobo know anything about this, or think it is even possible!

I'd appreciate any help, as night or invert screen would go a long way to reducing eyestrain for me.

Also, of the newer models, which has the best display? I also find color eInk fascinating, and hope that kobo will create a device with great color, and high contrast.

Thanks!

As to which of the newer models has the best display, that would be the Libra 2.
