I've been trying to figure out how to change the font color from the default setting of black to other colors (IE: white, etc)? I don't see any method to achieve this in the fonts tab of the plugin. I am looking for this because my customized covers are on a black background for dark mode reasons. The black font is lost on the black covers.

"It is at the bottom of the Fonts tab
Note: These are HEX values The color picker is the box with the 3 dots next to the line" I understand what you are saying! The font tab displays hex values for Background, Border and Fill. There is no option to change the hex value for the font itself. What I am looking for is White text on my black background. FYI - I love this plugin! I've created hundreds of personalized covers using it. Thank you for this capability. Last edited by MerryEl; 06-05-2024 at 01:11 PM. |

I apologize for my confusion. In my mind, I would never have correlated 'fill' with 'font'. I was looking specifically for the wording 'font'. Thank you for the explanation. I'll crawl back to my corner and return to lurking mode.

"I wonder if that is the 'Border' as we are on the Fonts tab" I tried playing with this 'border' setting by setting the color to blue. Nothing happened to the fonts. So then I tried the Dimensions tab. I set the Border widths for both (Cover and Image) borders. These changes added a border to the cover and to the image. Both borders were the blue color I selected. This probably added to my confusion concerning how the 'fill' on the fonts tab worked. I was thinking of the process in Excel where 'fill' adds a grid or color to the selected cells/rows.
I appreciate the clarification as I'm trying to make covers for pulp magazines (ie: Galaxy) that feature the original cover image on a black background with the Magazine name, issue, and the date of publication. |

Has anybody else had issues with the Generate Cover dialog getting trapped behind the main Calibre window when alt+tabbing?

I'll try that if it happens again. I had to exit Calibre entirely as I couldn't click anything (it just kept dinging).

Using the novel's description as the book's cover?
I just finished getting all my fanfic onto Calibre, and I am trying to get the summary onto the cover of the books. I have the generate cover plugin and while I can have the summary on the cover, it has a lot of HTML with it. How can I make it, well, not have that?
I was trying to make a custom column for summary/comments that would edit those out, but I have no clue what I'm doing here. I was mostly using these posts as a guide https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=331027 https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh....php?p=4143924 |

That comes from your custom setting: {comments} <you are seeing the raw, HTML .
That is not the best choice of something for a cover as they can be hundreds of words long. They are HTML because they can already be styled And the Cover plugin expects to be the styler of simple text |
