How to enable Dark mode for table of contents

bbryyz · 01-10-2023, 04:22 PM

Dark mode works fine for the reader, but I want to keep the table of contents visible and have not been able to find a setting or a stylesheet to make the TOC dark.

Can someone please guide me on how to do it.

Thanks,

Ensure calibre itself is in dark ode then the viewer will be too including the table of contents.

Thanks Kovid for your work on this and being responsive here!!

I have setup dark mode and using the latest version 6.11,
If you look at the screenshots dark mode is enabled <untitled.jpg> attachment

Second attachment <untitled2.jpg> shows that the viewer itself is dark but the TOC is not dark

Apologies new to the forum and do not know how to insert inline images

dark mode in the main calibre program. Under Preferences->Look & feel->Color palette

Thanks for your continued help!
Just tried the suggestion, Calibre look and feel changed,
however, it still does not work for the TOC.
Please see the attached screenshot

I dont see how that's possible. I certainly cannot replicate it. If the main program is being drawn dark then the viewer's Qt UI will also be drawn dark.

OK. I will spin up a new virtual machine and test installing calibre on that, If I can reproduce, I will see if I can provide access to you to test it out.

Really appreciate your responses and contribution to the community!

Uninstalled Calibre completely , removed all Calibre folders including temp and reinstalled, it is working as expected now.
Many thanks again for your help!
