The image size settings baffled me - I don't think of images on the screen in terms of units of length, I think of them in pixels.

However, I think this would work better - display a sample cover in the default size and allow it to be resized on percentage basis - maybe with a slider widget.

I don't think I am the only person who 'forgets' the search highlight button, maybe it needs a different icon

Temp Marker works fine with the highlight button in the Book List - just that I never wanted to use it there. In the Book List I always have it 'blue bars with red slash'.

Maybe you can devise a way of making 'blue bars only' work in CoverGrid View, I suspect I would use it there - I appreciate that might be counter-intuitive, but...
