Not sure if this was asked before but with this can we also change the overall white color of Calibre?

It's really burning my eyes and it's only 7 PM here but with the lights out I can't keep my eyes on the screen for more than a few minutes.

I am asking about the general background of the library viewer not the reading panel when opening an ebook.

Thank you in advance.

[DaltonST]

I think the answer is Yes. Just install it then go into its icon menu and pick Customization. Page down to the GUI Colors tool section.

I managed to install the PlugIn but whenever I select an option from its menus they do not open.
No error message no nothing - Version: 3.40.1 64 bits Win 10

I assume you restarted Calibre after installing or updating a plugin.


"Managed" to install it? Installing a plugin is easy.

Always restart Calibre after adding a new PlugIn.

Lol, my mom and aunt would consider learning how to transfer books from Calibre to a Kindle a major accomplishment.

Quick question,

when creating the .csv file for importing into tags editor can I use a comma to separate a tag to change into two separate tags?

For example, original tag is "Historical Romance" and I want to change it to "Historical.Romance, Romance.Historical Romance" Two separate tags.

If you have activated (use) JS's "Library-Specific Tweaks", you should deactivate them prior to upgrading Calibre to any version > 3.40.1 so that any Calibre issues you may have are not confused with JS issues, and vice-versa.

After upgrading Calibre, and all else seems to be working, you may then safely re-activate the "Library-Specific Tweaks" and restart Calibre as normal.



Added:
Important: if you are reading this because you upgraded Calibre to the "new" version > 3.40.1 but did not deactivate the Tweaks shown below before upgrading, and Calibre now fails to start up:

Simply edit the 'Job Spy.json' file located in your /calibre/config/plugins/ directory in a text editor. Change the "True" to "False" for the identifiers in all-capital letters shown below. Restart Calibre.

  "GUI_TOOLS_ACTIVATE_TWEAK_ADD_BOOKS_READ_METADATA_FROM_FILE_CONTENTS_NOT_NAME": "True", 
  "GUI_TOOLS_ACTIVATE_TWEAK_AUTHOR_SORT_COPY_METHOD": "True",

I run the latest version of the plugin, but when I Import the csv for updating metadata, it doesn't recognize those tags with brackets in them.

Example:

Jericho (US)

Debugging log?

[Tanjamuse]

I don't know if this is what you mean:

Edit: I've attached the csv, which has brackets.

The debug log shows that the input data has no round brackets.

================New CSV File Row====================
"Jericho US ","Ready"

If your spreadsheet program is showing the round brackets in your CSV File, I will need you to attach the original CSV File to your previous post so that I can examine it.
