NickelMenu: An integrated launcher for Kobo eReaders

[dina_]

Hello, I'm new to the forum. I haven't had an e-reader until now, I'm thinking about buying a new Libre color. Is there a possibility of putting some other program for taking notes, I am most interested in inserting or Copy/paste pictures in notes? Tnx

thanks for the warning, this thread was mentioned in that reply and that maybe someone here will be able to do it. I was busy with my outside life, so I asked the question here a little later. The post is duplicated because English is not my native language and I don't know how else to ask the question. It was not my intention to spam

Any ideas on why I'm unable to change the NickelMenu icon on my wife's Libra 2 but when I changed mine just the other day it worked fine?

Her Kobo is brand new and I just installed everything and brought over the same config file and png that I was using. Here's the lines I have that relate to the icon. I have a bunch of other stuff in the config file and everything works fine including the label, just the icon isn't showing up no matter what I try. I have the png in the root folder like it is on my ereader as well. I've tried moving it and adjusting the config file accordingly.

experimental :menu_main_15505_label :Shortcuts
experimental :menu_main_15505_icon :/mnt/onboard/shortcuts.png

Try to check the directory of your icon.png

experimental:menu_main_15505_label:Nickel+
experimental:menu_main_15505_icon:/mnt/onboard/.adds/nmicon/.NickelMenuIcon.png

Right now I have it in the root directory. I tried putting it in the same folder that you have and changed my config file to match (tried both with and without the file being hidden) but it still just shows the three horizontal lines as the icon, even after a reboot

Make sure the size of the Nickelmenu icon (bit depth 32) is following your Kobo model:
24 x 24 pixels, Trilogy: Touch A/B/C, Mini, Touch 2
30 x 30 pixels, Phoenix: Aura, Aura Edition 2, Glo, Nia
42 x 42 pixels, Dragon: Aura HD, Aura H2O, Aura H2O Edition 2, Glo HD, Clara HD, Elipsa, Libra 2
50 x 50 pixels, Storm:Libra H2O
56 x 56 pixels, Daylight: Aura ONE, Forma, Sage, Elipsa, Elipsa2E

That was totally it. Fixed it immediately. Thanks! What I'm very confused on is why the previous file was working on my kobo but not hers. I must have accidentally downloaded a different file.
