E-book viewer displaying greyed out

nindotza · 03-22-2020, 02:30 AM

Does anyone know the solution for this issue. When I click to View a book within calibre or when using the E-book viewer application separately, SOMETIMES the book displays with a greyed out masking. That is, the book is correct and I can see the underlying text. I can also make the text appear by selecting all. Yet, there is some kind of dark grey mask that lies over the entire page, or just sections. I am looking at epubs created by other people so I am not sure about all the styles that may have been used. But mostly it is complicated to see where that masking is made to appear. By the way, after I export that book and open in Moon+reader app I do not see that grey mask.

Open a bug report and attach one of these problematic files.

I opened that bug report. Should I look for reply here or there in the bug reporting system?

Thanks for looking at the bug, though it is perhaps not a bug.

I can see no way to set the reader to "dark mode". There are NO options or configurations in the Calibre E-book viewer on Macos. At least I can not see any. Is that setting reached via the Preferences in Calibre? As I said, in the Calibre E-book viewer there is NO menu item that leads to setting of ANY preferences.
