I'm visually impaired and need a black background everywhere — and so I use "Invert Mode" (as distinct from the standard "Dark Mode" available through the stock user interface). "Invert Mode" is available through NickelMenu and inverts everything (book, dictionary, user menus, home screen — everything):

Code:

menu_item :main :Invert & Reboot :nickel_setting :toggle :invert

On my old Libra 2, that worked just fine: everything (the book, dictionary, and all other UI elements) had a black background, which only switched to white during a page refresh (which I had set to every chapter).

But I've just bought a Libra Colour, and in "Invert Mode," regardless of what setting I have for "refresh pages," the background flashes to white for each page change.

NOTE: If I use standard "Dark Mode," instead of "Invert Mode," this does NOT happen -- but then the dictionary and UI elements all have white backgrounds, making the Libra Colour useless for me.

Any suggestions, other than returning the Libra Colour?
