The third book down has the highlight and it should have a blue BG, a larger book title and a blue corner. I'm wondering is the blue too light on laptop screens perhaps or is it just not showing for some people?

No blue background for me. Title enlargement and blue corner are fine.

According to Chrome's style inspector the div gets its background, #EDF6F8; from the class kfal.

Color code #EDF6F8 is light blue. Are you using a laptop or tablet. I'm wondering if it's too light perhaps although it looks quite strong on my screen. Also, what browser are you using?

I'm using Chrome on my laptop. Even when I tilt the screen it looks white.

Just tried in Chrome latest version and it seems ok. I'll try making the colour stronger shortly and perhaps you could look again for me. I'll let you know when it's done.

Ok. what I've done is made a test page with various shades of blue background from lighter to darker. Box 1 is white. Can you tell me the number of the first box that appears blue for you please.

Hello Lou

Box 2 is clearly blue for me even if I cover box 1

I'm just giggling at the fact that the screen you linked is entitled 'All Genres Except Erotica' but the second book is called 'The Dirty Parts of the Bible - A Novel' Tongue

I have exactly the same problem as Rosen. Using Chrome on my laptop, I don't see blue until No.3 and definitely no blue on the background of the book. Strange!
