Are you sure? It was my understanding that AlternateBase (in plugin_utils.py) is being assigned the same color as the Window role from Sigil.

https://github.com/dougmassay/sigil-..._utils.py#L264

https://github.com/dougmassay/sigil-..._utils.py#L272

Unless Base and Window are the same color.

I'm not opposed to your suggestion, but I would ultimately like the actual system alternateBase color to be used. With a hard-coded color in plugin_utils.py being embedded in tons of Qt plugins, that might not be a realistic hope.

I'd rather we didn't have to do this (match_dark_palette) on Windows at all, but...

Of course – not Base, but Window.

I went ahead and updated plugin_utils.py (and the light version) with your suggested color. Thanks!

Ok, I updated my copy of plugin_utils too.

One question for DiapDealer: the readme of the sigil-plugin-utils repository indicates the GPL v3 license but the notice at the top of each file shows the 2-clause BSD license. Is the latter the valid one or do you have another preference?

I prefer the 2-clause BSD (more permissive than GPLv3). I think GitHub might have just defaulted to GPLv3 when I quickly created the repo. I'll try to make them match. Thanks.

EDIT: I think I got everything updated to match on GitHub. Thanks again.
