My bad!
Then there is consequence in the design, anything with an arrow leads to a sub-menu.
I was under the impression that the left button yielded a direct action. It is the right button, unless you choose to click on the thins arrow part on the far right, that actually yields direct action.

Loving the new style, but could there be a preference/tweak for tooltips in main library list.
moving mouse over entries keeps showing them, when they're not needed.

Even when the buttons are at the smallest size, they are still too large compared to the previous style.

Thanks for the update, Kovid.

The tag browser is perfect now - at least for me.

Isn't it still there as a user selectable option? Nvm, my comprehension was disabled when I posted that reply.

Just a small point, but is this square in the middle of scrollbar within your control Kovid? If so, for native look option, I think it's better to take it off.

Sharp, pointy corners on the Slider?
On XP and Ubuntu (Gnome), they are gracefully rounded. What OS and theme?

Windows 8 Release Preview. Default. Calibre is the only program I know that it shows up. Maybe it happen to all Qt application.
