Any chance of a light/dark mode on a per-book basis?

NJMorf · 05-05-2022, 08:13 PM

I prefer dark mode for most things in Windows, including Calibre, but I have some books that don't display well in dark mode because of graphics on transparent backgrounds or poorly contrasting text (e.g. the book forces a grey background for aesthetic reasons, and then dark mode changes the text to white).

I've looked in the settings and online to see if there's a way around this, but I haven't seen one. Is it possible that we might get this option in the future? Thanks.

Simply turn off dark mode in the viewer preferences while reading such a book.
