Question about icons and other stuff

Hey there,

I wanted to know which icon files are the best for using in he GUI in custom columns. Also, anyway I can get them to be sortable? I just want to download good icons so that my library looks a bit cleaner.

I uploaded screenshots of what I am doing.

I guess I am hoping someone will see it and say..."you know if you want this to be better, then you can.." ...wishful thinking.

And yes, there are a mess of columns that have names that never started off as holding icons so now they are oddly named.

Any suggestions on what you see would be greatly appreciated

I'm not sure if I understand your question well (what do you mean by making your icons sortable?).

Here a printscreen from my library, maybe you'll find some inspiration .

I basically use two 'kinds' of icons.

I have one column (Languages) where icons pretty much replaced the text (although the rule for that is a bit more complex, including checking one thing in another column).

And I add icons to the title column (displayed in my library on the very left), to indicate a couple of other facts ('on my device', 'read', 'read and highly rated'). This way I can limit the number of the columns displayed in my default view (e.g. I don't need a separate column to display whether I've read the book). For me, this works.
