TOC contrast is very low

Hey all,

I'm using calibre-6.21.0-1 on Linux that's using XFCE as the desktop environment. The TOC in this release is difficult to read. I've tried various older versions and I'm still having the same issue. It's been a while since i've fired up Calibre but I've been using it for years without running into this issue.

I've provided a screenshot below.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

Thanks,
Will

IMNSHO, the CSS for the links in the ToC are set to that colour. You could try editing the stylesheet (or, blechh, inline styles if used) to change the colour to basic black.

This is nothing to do with calibre but rather with the ebook's internals. I would suggest opening the ToC based on the index/navigation document and using that instead (right click in the book and then click on Table of Contents).

Edit: I've attached an image where the colour for links was set to a light grey.
