Colour changed in Calibre v7 not nice

cager · 11-25-2023, 08:13 AM

I have just updated to version 7.0.
The highlight colour for books in the library screen has changed to a sea-sick green with white text. But worse, the highlight colour if one of the cells within the line has been selected is a bright yellow with almost invisible white text. It is almost unusable.
Earlier versions were a two shades of blue, more restful and easier to read.
The only options for colours seem to be to change to a dark theme (dark = black).
Is there any way to change the highlighting colours or text colours in the light or default theme?
Or could I make changes in Windows?

Thank you Sirtel,

Obviously my search was poorly worded because I did not find that thread.
Or maybe colour doesn't equate to color in this sites search engine?

But, really thank you.

Update: 15 seconds to change
Settings (Windows settings, not calibre settings) -> Personalization -> Colors -> Choose your accent color. Back to nice clear blue(not default) Quote from Sirtel in the thread he suggested.
