Oh, that's perfect, I can't wait...
And to continue answering nyn's question: I might, for example, decide to put in red all titles that are on my device but not yet read, or not yet on my device but I might want to read soon because they have a certain tag, or whatever. I do have columns for these things, but sometimes I have to sift through a number of entries because sorting doesn't get me exactly what I want; I have a few different "views" (using the plugin) that help, but making the title stand out with a color enables quick and easy identification.
It's just another tool for organization - and that's one of the greatest things about Calibre, how many alternate ways it gives us to organize in order to best suit our particular way of doing things and of mentally categorizing. They're not all useful to all of us (some things I still find baffling, like User Categories, that I know others use all the time), but every one is useful to some of us, allowing for an amazing level of customization...
