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.

Adding mine, its a dark theme with tealish blue base. please note in the screenshot the central/main part of calibre has yellow writing which is not my default, its a column color based on reading status (all of my vault has colors based on that, but the blueish teal to the right in the tag viewer is the base color)nothing special. using sedgwick ave font (googlefont)
