I can help you with the basics of that style. One caveat, these instruction are for a Windows based computer.
First you have to grab the background image from the web page (
http://epubzengarden.com/images/bg1.jpg) and save it to your computer. Right click the link and select
Save link as if using Firefox or
Save target as if using Internet Explorer. Save this file in a location on your hard drive, it doesn't matter where but you will need to obtain the file path to this image.
1. Now open any book in calibre's viewer and then open preferences. Now go to he
User style tab (see attached) and paste the following. Replace the green colored path below with your actual path on your machine to the image.
Code:
body { background-image:url("file:///C:/Dropbox/Calibre Portable/Calibre Settings/resources/images/bg1.jpg") !important;
}
2. Now go to the
General tab and click on
Colors and backgrounds row then click on the
Change button next to text color (see attached) and fill in the following values:
Red: 68
Green: 51
Blue: 0
Click OK Then click OK again. Your book in calibre viewer should have the same background and text color as the example you cited. If it doesn't then review the path you set in step 1 above, ensure all slashes are in the same direction as I indicated and that it does point to the file's exact location on your machine.
3. Now that the background and font color are set open preferences again and go to the
Theming tab (see attached). Click the
Save button and enter a title for this theme. Click OK then OK again. Now you have saved this theme and if you decide to experiment further you can always go back to this theme via the
Load button.
