@Comfy.n: I went ahead and made the highlight color setting different for light dark mode as it doesnt really make sense to use the same color for both.

Released 9.9.102 with the different light/dark highlight colors. No outstanding issues left.

Tested working, thank you!

Today I installed the beta. I will keep using it, but also found some issues. One thing that I could reproduce is as follows:

1) On my phone (Chrome), I go to a Library, set the cover size, say 2 columns.

2) With the sidebar expanded (full size), moving back and forth between the Downloaded Books and Virtual Library will cause the cover size reduced to fit with the remaining room of the screen.

3) Collapse the sidebar (small size), the cover size is not automatically restored to the intended size set in 1)

+++++

If possible, I would like to have an option to hide the sidebar in the margin, called by a swipe, or rearranged to the bottom (maybe this is more complicated)

I think the cover size slider is something I would use once or twice. It should not sit permanently in front.

+++++

In the bookdetail page, below the cover, series, publisher .. are not clickable. The clickable ones are in the old style book details section below. I think this is an unnecessary doublication.

++++

I edit the metadata, Comments section, thế toolbar is messed up as all buttons are arranged vertically rather than horizontally.

@nqk: I cannot replicate your cover size changing issue in phone mode in chrome developer tools (am travelling and cant test on a real device). Setting cover size to three columns and switching between downloaded books and switching between downloaded books and a VL with sidebar expanded stays at 3 columns as expected.

There is indeed an issue where the cover size is not recalculated when the sidebar is expanded/collapsed I will look into that when I have moment.

Yes book details page top is a card view for a quick overview, individual things are not clickable, you have to use the table below the card for that.

I'm afraid the sidebar is not going to get a swipe to access or bottom mode, too much code complication.

The edit comments toolbars were indeed broken, now fixed.
