Font Color in Book Details Release 4.7 MAC

I just installed the latest release and noticed that all the font colors that are hot linked in the book details panel are a light blue. It's a really hard color for me to see so I was wondering how I go about changing it back to what it was. Even in the metadata the comments formatting options are all the blue hued icons.

Any thoughts on how I can change those font/icon colors?

Thanks

Preferences - Look & feel, see attached images. Change the a color to whatever you want. I'm unsure what icons you are referring to but the second image shows you where to change icon themes.

Thanks! That's so weird. I don't even have those options on my preferences. I've attached a screen shot.

Thanks! That worked great. So it appears that this color changed for anything that was a "link". So on the metadata download, the links there (like for Amazon) are still that light blue. Any thoughts there?

I never change any of my defaults so it's weird that this changed.

On macOS light blue will be used as the link color if calibre thinks your system color scheme is dark, which will happen if the genral background color has all 3 RGB components < 115

What color scheme have you set in the mac system preferences?
