I posted this a short while ago in the conversion section in my reply to another problem but as this problem does not anything to do with conversion, I have reposted it.

I wanted to overide the image icons used in Calibre. In the manual it says that i should not change the images stored in the resources sub-folder of the calibre install location as my changes will get overwritten the next time I update calibre. And that i should instead, go to Preferences->Advanced->Miscellaneous and click Open calibre configuration directory, create a sub-folder called resources and place the files i want to override in it.

When I went to the open calibre configuration directory, there was already a sub-folder called resources and another folder called images within that. And there was another sub-folder called generate_images within the images folder. As instructed, I placed my images ( that had the same names as the images in the images stored in the resources sub-folder of the calibre install location) , inside the image folder but it did not change the image icons in calibre to mine even after i restarted calibre. Why is this ?

Also, since that did not work, I tried replacing some of the default images in the resources sub-folder of the calibre install location with my images that had the same name . ( I know that the images will be overridden back to the default when i update calibre in future ) That worked for some image icons like library.png and book.png but when i replaced the catalog.png with my own catalog.png, the image icon for the catalog disappeared. Why is this ? Does the pixel size have to be the same or something ?

Also is there any way to change the roman numerals used to show the series info when generating the covers to normal numbers ?

P.S On a separate note, Calibre is an amazing program and i seem to be able do more and more with it as i learn more about it. Kovid, just wanted to let u know that u have done an amazing job.
