I'd been mostly happy with the new design since applying it, but there was one thing that was bothering me: I couldn't figure out what the added value of the hover highlights was. Consider the mystery solved; until today, I'd only hovered over cells in which their contents were already wholly visible. Now I can give my unqualified thumbs up on the new interface. It's aesthetically pleasing (although, to be honest, I've always been quite satisfied with calibre's interface on this point) and it improves usability without making dramatic changes that would render the system unrecognizable.
