Reader Colors Gone Awry

[BetterRed]

For some reason the EPUB Reader has done 'bonkers', I only have EPUBs and RTFs. This is the style sheet (I copied it from here a few months ago, and adjusted the colours)

body {color:rgb(82,82,82);
background-color:rgb(205,190,112);
text-align:justify;
line-spacing:3;
margin-top:0px;
margin-bottom:4px;
margin-right:50px;
margin-left:50px;
text-indent:3em;}
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6
{color:black;
text-align:center;
font-style:italic;
font-weight:bold;}

I think RGB 205,190, 112 is a dirty yellow, usually known as "lightgoldenrod 3" but what I'm getting is Dark Grey 82 on Bright White.

And sometimes when I hover the mouse over a paragraph it, the paragraph, changes to a Light Silver Grey background, and a largish box with a red border pops up containing the word "Paragraph" and a number as in "6.2". This box obscures enough of the paragraph as to make in unreadable. I cannot make this happen on demand so I've been unable to grab a screen shot. If I move the mouse the background goes back to Bright White and the box disappears.

The background colour is my first priority. I cant be sure but I think it went awry after the update to 0.8.63. I cannot read Dark Grey or anything else on Bright White for too long due to damaged eyes.

I have resorted to reading in Firefox with EPUBReader extension.

You are in reference mode, click the reference mode button in the toolbar to get out of it. That will fix your hover problem. AS for colors, rather than using a stylesheet use the new "colors and backgrounds" section in the viewer preferences.

Thanks Kovid

I've never understood what reference mode was, must have clicked 'in anger'

Now my Waterfox can go back to being a browser
