2 new icons please

Hello,

Might it be possible to add two new icons to replace the "copy selected books to the specified library" and the "show books in calibre library" toolbar icons?

At present when a device is connected to calibre the toolbar shows three identical copies of the lt.png icon. This is proving to be quite confusing for my grandparents.

Thanks for your time.

Thomas

Why do you have Choose Library added to the main toolbar when device is connected? All the actions in it are available from the "Library" button. Go to Preferences->Toolbars and remove it from "main toolbar when device connected".

That will leave you with two identical icons. I suppose I should find a different icon for Copy to Library, someday when I have a few minutes.

I have Choose Library selected because I like the transition to be as seamless as possible. See the two attached images.

Well in this case your goal of making the transition as seamless as possible is causing confusion, maybe a few seams will come in handy.

You're probably right. My grandparents will have to live with a few seams and a slightly scratchy transition. Though for my desktop I think I'll keep the graceful "as if by magic" addition and subtraction of the new elements. Maybe it's that I'm shallow, but I like icing on my cakes.

Nice set of icons ohIdon'tknow.

I'm always looking for ways to pimp my Calibre UI. Where did you find those?

I've had the icons for something like 3 years. I can't remember where I found them, nor can I find the www. with the originals.

If you want to use the icons then please feel free to download the zip folder from the link at the bottom. Though bear in mind that it's not a complete set. And they didn't all come from the same place - I think the lt.png and nook.png came from Deviant art. Also, I tweaked the connect-share-on icon so that it glows red when the calibre server is broadcasting.

One last thing, the link is to Dropbox and it will expire in a week. So best get your skates on.
