Virtual Library text selection colour with dark theme (Linux/Calibre 4.2)

Dapper · 10-21-2019, 04:01 AM

I use Linux with KDE and Breeze Dark. For the most part the colours in Calibre are fine but I have one issue with the text selection colour in the Virtual Library. With a dark OS theme I get:

With a light theme I get:

What changes here is the text colour. As I don't want to use a light system theme, is there some way to change the selection colour or the background text colour?

Thanks

Is there a similar fix for black text on a dark grey background? I'm referring to the text under the toolbar, the row and column headers, and the Preferences pages (MacOS 10.14.6, dark mode, Calibre 4.2)
