Image background in the Viewer

travger · Yesterday, 05:20 AM

Calibre 7.19. viewer. How can I assign different margins to background image and text? Text is ok with just coloured background, but loses all margins as soon as I add a background image. 2-page landscape in paged mode.

I have tried different values in Page Layout and Styles, and nothing helps, text jumps to the edge of the background image. (no added CSS)
Same book looks exactly as I want in Calibre 3.34 viewer.

Also found that (without background pic) the values for maximum text area remain constant, which widens the margins when I enlarge the viewer window.

please!

Well, I don't use background images in the viewer but I can't see it losing margins on a quick test:

I guess screenshots would be helpful!

BTW, I set lateral margins to 10 and top/bottom 25.

Perhaps you want the background to fill the headers and footers' space as well?

Ah, and on the sides I believe there must be some space for the clickable triangles that turn pages
