I got thrown off because the link to the new NickelMenu package was posted in this thread, and it's the 4.28.18220 thread. Anyone have any ideas for getting this working in some form that's selectable from the device?

It might sound like I am arguing semantics, but, the situation is different. If someone with a Glo says they are not getting the update, it is probably because of the affiliate on the device. Some time in the future, it will be available to them. But, if someone with a Mini says the same thing, it is for a different reason and no matter how many times they check, they won't get the update. |

I have dark mode toggleable from the main and my books menu items. I just tested it and have attached 3 screenshots of what I see with dark mode enabled and the device information screen. Edit: One question is how you did the uninstall? I used the create a file named uninstall in .adds/nm/ and then deleting the .adds directory and it's contents?

For what it's worth, I've tried the latest firmware on my Mini. The install was okay. I'm noticing a bit of jerkiness at times but considering the CPU and RAM in the Mini, not all that surprising.

Regarding not having access to pgaskin.net
I can only access the site from my computer in Australia through a VPN. If I use an Australian server through the VPN, I can still access the site so the problem is definitely not the country from which I try to access. The fact that icallaci in the U.S. has the same problem confirm this. I cannot access the site without a VPN from any of the browsers installed on my system (Chrome, Brave, Firefox,Opera, Edge) so it's not related to adblockers as some of the browsers don't have any. I ran the Windows Network Diagnostic and it told me that my connection is fine but that pgaskin.net is not responding. It's strange. All I can surmise is that for some reason, my ip address is blocked by pgaskin.net. Thankfully, I can access the site through the VPN and I don't have this problem with any other site. I try to search the net for this kind of problem but didn't find anything. This post has nothing to do really with the subject of this thread but since the subject came up here in the first place I thought I would post anyway in case someone had any idea of what the problem could be. Thanks for your time. |

On my Kobo Aura 4.28 has removed the list view for annotations, no option but to use what was previously called Notebook (beta).
Hopefully they bring it back in the future, I really dislike notebook view. |
