Also, people often say, "Calibre's UI is ugly and it should be fixed," but they never really provide any examples of how to fix it. At its heart, calibre is a database program. It's data-centric, and needs to display that data in a useful manner. I for one do not want a wood-grained shelf metaphor. I
like the detailed list view of books in calibre. It gets the job done quickly and efficiently and looks just fine while doing it.
I'm not a big fan of some of the icons, but it's easy to replace those (I'm a software engineer, not a graphic designer, so I'm not even going to attempt to contribute icons
). Personally, I've been using the metro-look icons for some time now.
