Re: [Ayatana] Updating UI issues

[David Hamm <davidthamm@xxxxxxxxx>]

While the software sources design is a bit of a�departure�from the original email (which I think is�awesome�that your working on), it could be cleaned and updated a little bit.

"Also the download�location thing wouldn't be useful at all."

I believe some of the confusion from the picture is because I was taking two different parts of the interface and merging them while also adding ideas.

I've attached a picture of the two�separate�parts.�

"

it puts people off using it out of fear that they are�doing something bad to something that's important"

All though the software center application is fairly simple,�doesn't�require auth, and would�benefit�from having the update manager merged into it, the software sources app will still require authentication as it does deal with important system critical information. So in a sense I guess it should scare them a little...altho I don't think its that scary.

As for check box's, I do agree they are much simpler however in order to keep check box's and also add the proposed functionality there would need to be more items on the list and multiple check box's. As such I took the approach that less words = simpler to use. Which in some cases can be a bad�decision.
