Top bar better, cuter

I made some changes to the look and functionality of the "top bar" in Your Library. They include new "pads," new icons, yellow and baby-blue colors and new tag functionality. Non-English users will also notice the labels can nw be translated--no more untranslateable "text as image."

List:


Covers:


Tags:


The tag bar includes a new new features. "Down" and "Across" control whether the tags are sorted "down" (like an index) or "across" (like some other things). You can also control the size of the text and the space between tags, and the number of columns to show.

Come talk about the change and suggest more on Talk.

No kidding. I bought a new book today and was looking hoping to add it -- and LT's been down since.

You can export your library and save your covers...between the two that's all non-communal data.

My freeware BookDB software will import a LibraryThing XLS export. Handy for offline use.

Simon, thank you! I've seen your BookDB software before, but the LT import is a great feature.

Does BookDB import books with no ISBN? I've tried almost every book cataloging program available, but I always seem to abandon them when it comes to manually adding books. I've done all the work in LT already, I don't relish doing it again.

I'll answer my own question: All 1278 of the books I exported from LT were successfully imported into BookDB. Even those with no ISBN. I'm impressed!
