Embarrassing to admit.

Basically, when I start calibre, I get the word "Calibre" in the task bar, but no application. Preferences does show in the menu, but nothing happens when I select it.

I was trying to add some new icons, made some changes to some files and...bad things have happened. I'm sorry I don't remember the files I edited (it was just before xmas and this is my first time back) but it was based on the post in this forum somewhere about customising icons. Obviously, I haven't followed instructions somehow.

Woe.

I'm thinking uninstall Calibre and re-install and re-load my library. Is this a good thing or bad thing to try? With 3000+ titles, I'm a bit nervous.

Mac 10.10
Calibre 2.12 ish (I'm not sure).
