Connecting via the Content Server works fine. In CC's settings I have changed the size of the book cover thumbnails for the details page to Large. New books downloaded via the Content Server show the cover in Large. But all the previous books in my library are stuck on the default size from the previous version of CC. I guess that's because they are only updated by connecting as a Wireless Device and that process won't complete for me.
Well, this is unexpected. And of course it works perfectly for me.

It might be a problem with changing the cover size. Some questions:
- What version of calibre are you running?
- Are you running the "old db" or the "new db"?
- Did you change the cover size after the upgrade?
- Does it work if you change back to using small covers in book details?

In any event, it would be nice to get a calibre debug log. I hope you can actually get one given that you must kill calibre. Instructions are here.

Since I have your attention, here is my short wishlist for CC ...

1) The ability to hide custom data from the book's detail page.

2) An optional shelf color scheme in medium or dark gray (not black which is too stark).

Hopefully this can be implemented in this or a future version.
Do you mean a flat grey color, not a patterned grey as in an aged grey wood?

Thanks for your help!
