I looked at a lot of programs had glitzy and even really nice looking screen displays that were nicer than calibre's but they were not nearly as useful. Guess which program I chose? Too much of an issue has been made over these icons. Please, everyone, build a bridge and get over it.

Btw, Starson17, I so agree with you about creeping option bloat (are you listening MS?).
I agree, there is way to much emphasis on the "Eye candy" requests, aspect of Calibre, asking for Kovids time (Wife's request excepted ).
