Here's those mock ups
I was originally only going to tweak a few things, but once I got to working on it I found that I wanted to change a lot more than that. I think there's some room to make Calibre a really beautiful, intuitive app. Right now the GUI seems geared towards the "Power User", which is appropriate for it's early adopter user base. The attached designs I think would go a long way to making it friendlier for the casual user.
I did this with OS X in mind, but I think that a lot of these changes would work cross-platform.
I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes. This is my first time trying to get involved with an open source project.
I would love to hear what you guys think, since a lot of this is beyond my programming skills.
