If I select a dark theme (and preferences/look and feel/ is set to dark) then all is fine and 'CSS Live' is visible.

So this is not a problem for me now as I prefer dark themes.
Would be interesting to know if there a fix for this though.

I didn't realise the colour scheme specified in Look and Feel (which is what this plugin does) is also applied to the Book editor, but I see it is

Anyone else think the PI needs an Exit button, exiting other calibre dialogue's via the title bar exit button, often means Cancel?

@dunhill - currently, I have 15 calibre installs, two 'regular' Windows installs, one 'regular' Linux install, and 12 Windows portables. None of them have the Configuration folder in the locations you cite in first post.

Sometimes its better to provide no information, rather than provide what could be misleading information.

Agree on an exit button.

My config folder is as the original post. (Linux Mint 21)
Maybe a statement that that is the standard/normal folder but it could be located elsewhere depending on the environment setup.

My concern is that non English speakers may interpret what's written as proscriptive… maybe something like :

Palettes are stored in the palettes/ subdirectory inside Calibre’s configuration folder: which can be opened via Preferences->Miscellaneous->Open calibre configuration folder

Even better, put an Open Config folder button in Palette Switcher.

@dunhill here's a 1.0.5.100 version that includes the 'Open Palettes Folder' button

I have a some more suggestions.

• Remember the window size
• Allow selecting the palette to see what it looks like but allow an exit of the plugin back to the palette that was in use before the plugin was run
• Allow exporting the exiting in use palette
