Main Interface Style / Color / CSS
Any way to change colors/style of the main interface (not the server style).
A dark background/light text would be easier on my eyes. I use Linux Mint 20/mate, with Calibre 5.38.0 thanks |

What happens when you change things in Preferences:Look & Feel:Main Interface? (Try the top item first; )

See https://calibre-ebook.com/new-in/fourteen (Dark mode support, and in particular that it isn't automatic on Linux) and https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/customize.html#id1 (CALIBRE_USE_DARK_PALETTE)

There are some colour related settings in the JobSpy optional plugin, they're in the Configuration dialogue - Index of plugins.

Something like a shortcut is created for us and on that icon we right-click preferences. In the Order line we write: env CALIBRE_USE_DARK_PALETTE=1 caliber We double click on this icon and if we have a black theme in the system it puts us in dark mode |

Is there any chance at all that Calibre might get more built-in style customisation options somewhere down the line? Anything on the horizon for v6.0 and up? Because the colour schemes for both light and dark are, frankly, rather terrible. JobSpy helps, but it feels like a stopgap solution at best.
