Color of background makes colors hard to see

ChipAHoy · 01-14-2021, 09:28 PM

I changed my laptop setting from Dark to Light. Whenever I use Calibre, it is in dark mode. After changing my laptop setting to Light, the Calibre background washes out a lot of the colored text now, making it difficult to see the text color.

I tried both system interface options, calibre style and system style, but Calibre stays in Light mode. This is after I changed my laptop setting back to Dark.

I made some rules for certain book categories to be a particular color.

How do I either get back the Dark Mode for Calibre, or better yet, choose my own shade for the background?

calibre follows system settings, unless you have set the environmnet variable to override. https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cus...ment-variables
