Thanks, Kovid.
It could very well be that
I'm used to the old interface. But when I click on Authors on the tag browser and there are over 1000, I find it easier on the eyes with alternate row colors.
But then again, I may be the only one with this opinion. I am running calibre on a XP box via RDP, so the visual style might not be as compelling as if using W7 or OS X.
Other than that. Great work on the new interface.
I don't know how hard it would be to implement an option to choose between these two styles. If it's difficult or if it would affect performance, it's OK. If it's easy to implement, I could really use it.
