Linux environment variable for dark theme in 5.0

t4exanadu · 10-02-2020, 01:11 PM

I've been using the environment variable in Calibre to set the dark theme and it worked fine until the recent update to 5.0. The release notes for 5.0 explicitly mention being able to set the dark theme with CALIBRE_USE_DARK_PALETTE=1, but exporting that var on the command line seem to have no effect now. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm running Manjaro Linux.

Evidently, it required a reboot. Works fine now. Strange, you don't encounter that often in Linux.
