Hi all,
Kaeser seemed to be the only one interested in implementing any sort of redesign. It's often the case that designers can be met with a kind of resistance to something that people have grown attached to. I'm of course open to a discourse about what should or should not be modified or simplified with regards to the UI. It's often the case though that if you don't provide some sort of work or proof of concept people in the opensource world don't take you seriously and write you off. There's a "put up or shut up" attitude in some other projects I've approached. So I've tried to change tack and come with an idea partially realized. Even then when I have shown something it can be sometimes mercilessly ripped to shreds or simply rejected as "unfeasible", "too much time", "I like it the way it is" and I'm sent on my way, no real dialogue. Unfortunately, I'm not interested in merely modifying the current design or working on a theme (not my forte). Maybe my designs will help inspire something in the future? Best of luck with Calibre and thanks for making such a great software.
