This plugin offers an enhanced alternative that allows you to select from your own choice of cover images and a wide range of layout/appearance options.

Main Features of v1.5.15:
  • Add/remove your own images to a list to choose from when you generate
  • Option to use the existing book cover as an embedded image
  • Control which metadata to display and where it is located on the cover
  • Option to swap author name for users who store it in Calibre as LN, FN
  • Fine tune many aspects of cover appearance such as fonts, borders, colors and margins
  • Save your customised settings under a name to quickly recall multiple different appearances
  • Export your settings for sharing and import settings from other users
  • Option to use an image as a background rather than a content item
  • Option to add custom text to a cover, using Calibre's template language to place your choice of additional data on the cover
  • Option to auto-size text to fit on a single line for long text
Beautiful! Love it!
First one I tried was using an image of the urn my wife made for me. (No, I'm not dead. She was just being prepared )Click image for larger version
