Thanks again for persevering with me.

I have a saved copy of the css file and the xhtml file that I always replace in the Packsge contents of calibre.app on the Mac.

However, I have made a fresh install of calibre and have taken the jacket files from the newly installed version and copied them into:

~/Library/Preferences/calibre/resources/jacket.

I know my path is correct and that the css file woks because I went through the css file and changed all the "sans-serif" statements to "serif" and these changes were reflected in the generated jacket. I also changed the alignment of some of the text and those changes were also reflected in the newly generated epub's jacket.

There are two things I can't get to work. (1) When I had coloured text in the Comments, the coloured text appeared in the generated jacket. (2) I can't get the background to change colour.

I have attached a pdf showing various files settings etc, as well as a sample of what my jackets used to look like.

I hope this helps you work out the problem so that I can stop taking up your time on this issue. I apologise in advance about this.
