THAT helped me find the config directory, thanks.
I'm still trying to reconcile how to correlate changes in the template and stylesheet, however. I made some changes to the template that copied from the resources/catalog you directed me to earlier and copied the catalog folder into the config directory. No such folder existed there before (I assume that is how it should be).

Interestingly, the copied template file is a little different from Calibre has been pulling in by default. The Series Name [#] is coming in as " Number # of Series Name" by default.
Even after copying the catalog folder into the config directory, the book jacket metadata update is using the default form and not what I've copied over. I also copied those two files into the config directory alone (config directory calibre/template.xhtml and stylesheet.css VERSES being in config director calibre/catalog/template.xhtml and stylesheet.css) It doesn't work there either.

At least I know how to include some custom icon access faster now in the future vs. browsing each time to find them. I know where they are stored now (cc_icons) :-)

So, IN SUMMARY, I know more but still can't get it to work. The default stuff is still what shows. ..and yes, I did testing after restarting Calibre.

UPDATE:... Well, I figured out that I have to make a resources/jacket directory and copy the files there in the config directory . Of course, the one file I modified now loses ALL formatting and some info...Edison learned over 500 ways NOT to make a lightbulb :-)

Now if @jackie_w can help me with the proper files, I'm a step closer. I'm going to keep playing with it (ie, learning).
