Is there a way to change the color on the side panel when it is selected/highlighted (circled in the picture attached)?

No, that button effect is not configurable.

I wanted a OneDark color palette for Calibre but wasn't able to find one, so I had to create my own. It might not be perfect since it's my first attempt and I haven't spent much time on it. I used this color scheme as a reference. If anyone knows of a better OneDark palette for Calibre, I'd appreciate it if you could share it.

`onedark.calibre-palette`

Color theme from reddit user _Chernobly
This is primarily a dark theme for Calibre filled with browns, beiges, and dark orange accents. It's a one-to-one conversion of the VS Code Remedy theme (not my work). Remedy's bright variant is a warm, light theme with cream backgrounds, dark brown text, and the same orange accents for highlights and buttons.
The catchphrase straight from the source: "A dark, bright theme with orange accents rooted in the Base16 - Eighties color theme."

Inside the zip is the calibre-palette file.
