It is working like a charm on my Kobo Clara HD. I did not need to force inverted mode in nightmode.ini; simply setting the brightness level to 11% toggles Night Mode on/off. I really think that Kobo should have included this on the firmware since this hack was first created. This is one the the greatest hacks for the Kobo ereader. Thanks to the people that have created and maintained it! |

Just do the config file change that DNSB mentioned above. It will start the device in night mode but there is no way to turn it off except to edit the file. If you don't like it, take it out. If you do like it, you can decide whether to stick with the option or try the hack. Whichever you use, the effect is the same.

I still keep hoping that Kobo will offer this as an option in the settings. |

Thanks, and sorry if i sounded anxious cause i didn't understand that clearly. |

Does anybody know...
I have my .ini file set to force screen refresh every 99 pages: there's lots of ghosting of course, but I don't see this in the dark, so I'd prefer to get a the least amount of fun bright flashes in my face when the screen refreshes. Instead, if I do see ghosting, I want to manually refresh the screen, for instance, by bringing up the menu (with my eyes closed). However, there is no screen refresh when bringing up the menu when in night mode! Nor does the screen refresh when I go back to the home screen... I really have to wait 99 page turns? I don't see any settings in the .ini file referring to non-page turn related screen refreshes... Any idea how come the other screen refresh triggers aren't working and/or how I could make them work again? |

If I tap the middle of the screen to bring up the header/footer menus there is no refresh but there is a refresh when I tap again to close the menus. There is also a refresh if I select Home from the top left menu. I just checked my nightmode.ini file. I have refreshScreenPages set to zero. |

I'm also on Clara HD, running 4.9.11311 EDIT: Hmm, it's like the "refreshScreenPages" overrides all screen refresh options instead of only the regular number of pages set in reading settings Last edited by Mrs_Often; 08-10-2018 at 09:48 AM. |

nightmode toggle
Hey there,
I got a little problem. I'm able to invert my Kobo (Aura Edition 2) without problems but only while modifying nightmode.ini. Below I have a picture from my ini. I have the newest update installed (4.9.11311) and got this installer. I would appreciate some help. I only got my Kobo today, but I'm used to read in nightmode on my tablet This "mod" was one reason to buy a kobo. Greetings! Minaru |
