v16.3.1: New: Light, Dark and System skins and Quick Filter panel

NEW: Choose between Light, Dark or System skins

Yes, We’re getting rid of the gray!

Book Collector now comes with a skin system, which affects the look of all screens in the program,
main screen, edit screens, add auto-screen, sync screen etc.. even the settings screens.

We have designed two different skins for you to choose from: Light and Dark.
The third option “System” is basically the old pre-v16.3 look.

• Light: A clean look, white backgrounds, dark fonts. Very readable, easy on the eye.
• Dark: A cool looking, modern design, with dark backgrounds, light fonts.
• System: Keep things as it was, with the program following your Windows theme.

Please note:
The program now defaults to the Dark Skin. You can change to a different Skin using the Skin option in the View menu.

NEW: Quick Filter panel in main screen

The Alphabet Bar, launched about a year ago, is still one of the most popular tools, as it helps you to instantly list just the books for which the Title or Author starts with a particular letter. So we expanded on that idea:

Today’s update introduces the Quick Filter panel, a new panel on the left side of the main screen, that lets you easily “zoom in” to a sub-set of your collection.

• Open the Quick Filter panel by moving your mouse pointer to the left of the screen,
  making part of the panel slide out. Now click the panel to open it.

• Quick Filters are available for the following fields:
  • Collection Status (All / Collection / Wish List)
    (this replace the tabs at the bottom left)

  • Read it: Yes vs No
  • My Rating
  • Publication Year
  • Number of Pages
