Aesthetic Display Modifications?

[inpariswithyou]

Hi! Just started using CC, and I love its functionality. I'm not so keen on its look, though.

Is there any way to do any of the following:

1) Change the font size, particularly in the grouping drawer?
2) Remove the number of books from tags, series, etc., shown in the grouping drawer?
3) Give a custom column a display name, so it says Class instead of #class?
4) Resize the width of the grouping drawer?

Thanks!

The font used in the grouping drawer is the "Bold, primary lines" found in CC's settings. I am considering making a separate setting for it, and in general trying to make it clearer what the font sizes affect.

Note that there is a bug in V3.3.5. The word "Groups" is not resized.

2) Remove the number of books from tags, series, etc., shown in the grouping drawer?

That information was added by popular demand.

Perhaps an option to remove it could be added, although as long-time readers of this forum know, I am not keen on adding seldom-used options because they create extra support. But maybe this one would be popular.

3) Give a custom column a display name, so it says Class instead of #class?

CC doesn't have the information from calibre, so it can't use calibre's display name. I possibly could add some syntax to specify the display name, such as #class/Class. I will think about it.

4) Resize the width of the grouping drawer?

This one is a "no". There are two many small dependencies on the size of the drawer.

Hi, thanks for such a quick response!

I think incorporating the option to remove the number of books would be nice... I like a clean interface, ideally with each tag taking up only a single line, and all those numbers bulk up the grouping drawer!

That'd be the one I'd want the most, out of the changes I suggested. If you can do it, that'd be great! Otherwise, no worries, and thanks for such a great program!

Thanks for the kind words.

I have added to the wish list the "remove books" option and the "display name for custom columns" request. That way I will remember them when I start the next development cycle, which should be soon.
