Altering Jacket Text

kakkalla · 04-01-2025, 04:13 AM

Hi all.

I am running Calibre 8.1.1 on a Mac Mini running Sequoia 15.3.2.

I would like to make changes to the book jacket that gets generated. The jacket files stylesheet.css and template.xhtml occur in two places.

Position 1: The first is when I right click on calibre.app and Show Package Contents->Contents->Resources->resources->jacket.

Position 2: The second is ~/Library/Preferences/calibre/resources/jacket.

My first question is where should I modify the stylesheet.css file? In Position 1 or Position 2?

Do I need to restart calbire every time I make a change to the css file or the xhtml file?

Thanks in advance.
