How to force dark mode in [google] Lookup/search (Ctrl-L)

kay-466 · Yesterday, 10:27 AM

Hello,

Recently The Lookup feature in calibre reader is not using the default dark theme of chrome.

This used to work previously, and I have no Idea how to change it back

Additional Info:

OS Fedora KDE Linux

Calibre Version 7.13

Chrome Theme QT - System (Although I tried all possible combinations with no luck)

Any help is appreciated

Cheers

No clue, there haven't been any changes to it calibre side so presumably google changed something. I did notice that for a while google search was not dark in my browser as well, though that started working again.

I toggled the dark mode setting to on and then back to device in the google web search settings (while logged out of google in my normal browser) and after that google was using dark mode in the lookup panel as well.
