VL tabs background colour

Wiggo · 03-25-2023, 05:12 PM

In darkmode it is very difficult for me to identify the active tab of the VL.

Is there any way to adjust the colours of active/inactive tabs?

Not that I'm aware of. But as a tabbed-VL user, I would also find this helpful if it was technically feasible.

Out of the box calibre dark mode has a red close button (window_close.png) on the active tab, and grey one (close-for-dark-theme.png) on inactive tabs. These can be overridden in the <config>/resources/images folder - or by a third party theme.

ah yeah, forgot about it. I turned it off because I had a tendency to keep accidentally hitting it

Turned off - where?

Right-click a tab and there's 'lock' and 'unlock' on the menu. Locking it removes the x button.

Didn't know that - I often move a tab next to another one if I'm switching back-and-forth between them via the keyboard.

Oddly enough, locking doesn't prevent moving the position. I occasionally do that with a misclick.

And I note it is: Lock virtual library tabs. So, an all or nothing feature rather than a tab by tab feature.
