I don't say that you need to define a css background color for the editor. I wanted to suggest that the default background of the File preview should be white. No need to add css code. Just apply it with the software code you used to create Calibre. Let me ask you, what's the default colors of a kindle ebook page or a web html page? (That's right black text + white background). This should be the same for Calibre File Preview in my opinion. I hope it makes sense now. |

My thinking of this problem.
Using themes is maybe the same like using colored sunglasses in some cases. Once you decide to use purple glasses the new white will be light purple and not white. Cutting a small area out of the glass for correcting this problem in reading a book with "correct" white pages is maybe as well not the best decision. This does not mean I can't understand the wish to correct a outside driven issue, but maybe it is a better solution to change the initiator of an issue for the time you are using the editor. A little remark. Your assumption about the "correct" white and black for a reading device or a white book page isn't as easy as you think. Take two different devices from different display charges and you will see how much this will differ, not to mention between manufacturers and display technologies. Same for paper, backlight for reading devices and for individual setup's. |

I'm not talking about the real life scenario where a kindle screen has a dark grey colored tint. I'm talking about the devices screen view. |

The only simple fix I'm using right now is: body { background: white; } |

OK, this post is old, but it was the first result I got when I looked for this problem. And I found a solution. I don't know if this wasn't available in 2018, but today, 29th of November, 2021, I was able to fix it by going to Edit > Preferences > Preview settings and setting Background color, Foreground color and Link color to No change.
