Hi,

I'm using the latest Calibre on Windows (v3.6 on x64). I recently switched to a dark windows theme and I want to change the default colors used in calibre for better visibility.

I asked a question earlier and learned how to change the book details links to a lighter blue (book_details.css in the templates folder). I want to change the colors in the metadata window, but there's not file for that in the templates folder.

Do I create a file? What are the filed properties to change? Is there a list somewhere that I can reference to change the appropriate colors. I mainly want to change the green background for the sort and ID fields (black text is not easy to see) and the default text color for the book comments)

Thanks
