Changing highlight color in metadata editor?

sheygetz · 09-01-2014, 06:19 PM

Hi all,
the new Calibre sports a rather bright green highlight color in its "Edit Metadata" window. Is there any place I could change that color?

Hendrik says thanks

Hmm...not to be a smart aleck, but tilt the screen...the color will change a bit that way :-)

@sheygetz - I have to agree, its revolting, fortunately I rarely use the single Metadata Editor.

My understanding is that calibre has little control over such things. It's defined in Qt's 'Fusion' Theme.

Aah ok, too bad. I use it every time I add a book, which is pretty often. We have an excellent public online library system in Germany. Unfortunately they allways get their metas wrong.

@sheygetz - I edit in the Book List, the only column that cant be edited there is Comments, but I don't use that column, instead I use comments-like custom column (Notes) which can be edited from the Book List.
