Tag colors

Is it just me or did the tag colors disappear since the last update (7.17)? Can I set them back?

What are tag colors?

I found the screen where I set this. It's the column coloring in the look & feel section. I thought it was the tags itself because I only use it there.

The rules are still there, but the colors are no longer displayed after the update I did today.

Oh, nevermind, I just set the interface style to Calibre instead of system default and now the colors are back! Whoo!

The User interface style should not effect the processing of column colour or column icon rules… and for simple rules it doesn't.

I suggest you post your column colour rules..

The new version 7.17 did the same for me. The user interface style was set to system before and after the update and my column colors were gone. I changed it to calibre and the colors show up, but go away again if I change it back.

The rules are still there, I even added a new one and it did not show up when the user interface style is set to system, for me.

So I uninstalled 7.17 and installed 7.16 again and the color rules for the columns are working again for both system and calibre user interface style.
I wanted to make sure Windows 11 had not updated something that caused the problem.

I wonder if this is another artifact of Calibre style vs System style

system style ==>>

Which makes me wonder if it has something to do with the rules… as can be seen mine are very simple.
