Learn how to change the color scheme of the buttons in your library: button and text colors.


Kotobee Libraries are simple to navigate and have just two important buttons that you may want to customize:

  • 'Book Access Denied' When the user does not have access to a book, a disabled 'Book Access Denied' button is shown. From the library's general settings, you may also assign a redirect link that will take users to an external webpage when they click on that button. You can replace the button text "Book Access Denied" with any other text such as "Buy" or "Purchase from our website" using the customize language feature.

  • 'Open Book' This button appears in the book's page info. Your readers simply click on this button to open the book.
