Thanks for these reports ! It's really interesting.

I didn't know that we could force the display of icons. On our wiki I'd
added a tip to see these icons (simply launch this command : gconftool-2
--type bool --set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons true &&
gconftool-2 --type bool --set
/desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons true ). Thanks !

Your mockup is really good. The ideas of an icon for 'Loading Preview',
a button to customise theme preview+text and the two buttons to save and
delete local/user theme are really interesting. But I think it's better
to keep all informations about the author, the size of the package and
the ratings in the list. Maybe the author and the size can be placed
beside preview theme.

We will think about all what you've written! (but not before next month
I think -> some of us are on holiday and other have a lot of work ;) )

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core: In Progress

Bug description:
Since , i noticed that the cairo dock is cleaning up the configurations window , I thought I'd mention a couple of other simple issues:

- The "Quit" button , in the configurations window , should actually be named "Close" , since all it does is close the window. Generally , in all other applications "Quit" is used to quit the whole application including all running instances.
- "OK" and "Quit" buttons seem to perform the same function. Why have two buttons? "Close" could just replace both. 

- When user right-clicks on the dock , the Cairo-dock submenu , has too many options. 
Could the "Developer site" and the "Community site" options be moved to the "About" window? It would be easier to better explain the options and provide these links in the "About" window.

- Using the Up and down arrow icons for the Unmaximize and the minimize is a bit misleading... Ideally, the dock could use its own icons which are consistent with default metacity buttons , or not show any icons like how metacity does it. 
- Keep the unmaximize and minimize options together , similar to the options shown in the window , Would give some consistentcy to the user when using both the dock and the metacity window. [currently they are separated by the "show" option ]

PS: nice work on the new simple mode :)
