I've been meaning to ask. I've looked at your Fonts packages and am wondering which variant you'd suggest installing on a Libra Colour running fw 6.x

If you plan on using the regular built-in reader, the KF fonts are the best choice. Can't really go wrong with them, but I should note that they haven't been optimized for 6.x specifically.

(Though the metadata embedded in these likely gives you the best outcome. I've found custom fonts tend to be a bit fiddly on the 6.x fw.)

If you're using KOReader, use the relaxed variant. The line spacing for those fonts is a bit looser which works better with KOReader.

Thanks. I'm a staunch original Kobo reader, not KOReader

I still highly recommend ChareInk7SP font. I've not seen and had anyone mention a place where it doesn't look good.

I think the last 2 options are swapped at least on Tolino:

The bottom right tier has the Tipps and tricks.

That does appear to be the case, indeed. I'll make sure it's fixed in the next build.

For the next release, I've reworked it:

Highlighting a word also seems broken. I’ll do another quick pass and I’ll update the mods, clearly there’s some bugs with 6.0 and the NickelMenu build I uploaded.

I've just fixed a few bugs and updated the link in the original post. NickelMenu should work properly now.

Something that I have noticed.

This works:
experimental :menu_main_15505_2_enabled: 1
experimental :menu_main_15505_2_label: Stats

This doesn't anymore:
menu_item :main :Buch-Statistik :nickel_open :reading_life :stats
menu_item :main :Buch-Statistik-Übersicht :nickel_open :reading_life :reading_life

Click image for larger version Name: IMG_0714.jpg Views: 8 Size: 909.5 KB ID: 226158

And sure, technically they don't do that much on a Tolino but the stats still show number of read books and percentage of read books.

Okay, uploading via Tapatalk results in these huge images, I'll try not to do that anymore.

Ah... I've validated this with v6.0 for Tolino mode, so if you're on 5.18 those protection checks are too strict (hence the "is your firmware too old").

Tolino is still on firmware 5.18.264769.

They don't get updated at the same time as Kobo.

Try this one: NickelMenu relaxed for Tolino.zip

I suspect that might do the trick.
