Yes, Windows.

I changed the setting to System - a restart didn't pick up the system settings, but closing and re-opening did. However, there doesn't appear to be any setting that the toolbar is using to pick a color - which is probably why the background is white.

The only theme/color setting I have as white is the Window setting (background) and selected items (font). Neither has any effect on the toolbar, although I suppose I could change all the window on my system to something other than black on white (which is the best contrast), just to get the comments themselves to change color.

Or, perhaps, a fix or system setting could be found/created in Calibre that sets that background color. It used to be a light grey, which is used for various settings in my theme, probably picked up from the 3D objects background color (which is used by the icons on the main/front page of Calibre). I'd hate to have to go back to 1.16, since I no longer care about being compatible with some older windows laptops I have, but I would like to be able to see where the comments start on the screen.
