It will work, but you need to close the book and open it again... It just doesn't make sense to put in reader menu.

you only need to use user: root

Does NickelMenu work correctly on the Elipsa?

@elipsajune: Yup!

I tried all these things:
To uninstall NickelMenu, create a file in this directory named "uninstall",
or manually uninstall it by deleting libnm.so. You can also uninstall it by
triggering the failsafe mechanism by turning your Kobo off within 20 seconds
of turning it on.

I only could not find libnm.so, but I deleted .nm. The uninstall file didn't work and the turning off aftre turning on also didn't work.

I still see NickelMenu in my main meny and there it gives a config error, it cannot find the config files, that is correct...

Any idea how I can uninstall it properly?

Same issue here. Do you find a way to uninstall Nickel Menu from main page? If Yes, please guide me also. Thank you.

Same thing happened to me. After a restart NickelMenu was gone

Hi everyone, I have an issue on nickelmenu. With the last update (4.28.18220), invert screen doesn't work properly, the screen is only inverted when I reboot the device. How can I fix this problem or should I install the previous firmware?

screen flashes briefly, then remains inverted.

I don't mind terribly because I prefer to read in inverted mode, but figured I'd see if there was a solution. I have patched my Forma, but the replace adobe page numbers w/ invert is not enabled. I can't think of anything that I would have done that would interfere with this, especially since I had to do a hardware factory reset (so everything was zapped) recently.

I will look into InvertScreen later.

there are also mentions of this in the thread for 4.28 firmware just released for all Kobo devices.

The editor I use, like a lot of editors, creates a backup file with the extension ".bak", and if I forget each time to manually erase the backup file when I edit my Nickel Menu file in \adds\nm, I end up with both the main file AND the back-up being concatenated into one Nickel Menu on the Kobo, with redundant entries.

Would it be possible to have Nickel Menu ignore files with the extension ".bak" just as it ignores the file "doc" that Nickel Menu puts in \adds\nm? Thank you!

@MGlitch , @Semwize thanks, I try darkmode and like it already.

Is it possible to have a message displayed before a reboot?

The below works except for the message. I am guessing it runs the script without waiting for the "OK" in the message dialogue? When the reboot step is removed the message does display.

I do not need the "OK" button would just like a message if possible, to know I have actually selected the menu item.

menu_item :main :Invert Screen & Reboot :dbg_msg :Rebooting your eReader.
chain_success :nickel_setting :toggle :invert
chain_success :power :reboot

Hi, Is NickelMenu compatible with an installed Kobopatch?

I could not find any information on this issue.

Yes. More precisely, I have not had nor read of any issues with NickelMenu and using the KoboPatcher.
