Further to my original problem with background color in Code View - which was solved by the qt_styles.qss suggestion --

Since implementing that solution, I have made a clean install of the latest LTS version of my operating system, UbuntuStudio 22.04.1. While setting up missing but favorite applications, it came Sigil's turn to be installed.

I found on Sigil's website that I could have the latest version of Sigil by using the flatpak version so in the interests of keeping the same version on linux and Windows boxes, I installed flatpak Sigil 1.9.20.

The flatpak version seems to take no account of the qt_styles.qss file when launching. I suppose somehow I should have known that flatpaks came with all their own baggage.

Where can I apply the same influence to the Code View background color in Sigil flatpak versions? And does this have implications for all the other custom user dictionaries, clips etc stored in .local/share/sigil-ebook/ directory ?
