Not that I think firstboot should be fullscreen, I just want to know why this is preferred.

Well, I guess I don't care much about the non-resizable window and lack of other window controls, it just seems strange. The "Step X of Y" change I think is more confusing to users. They know how many steps remain, but they have no idea what the next step will involve. Step 1 could be setting the date and time and step 2 could be an exhaustive memory test step and then step 3 could be reading the license agreement. With the list of steps, there was at least some indication of the types of things you were about to do. But, I think my opinions are just that. We should get the user interaction people involved on changing up this interface. > In the backend, the biggest change is that the interface uses > gtk.Notebook to hold all the modules/pages.

Overall it looks fine, but I recommend working with the user interaction team to get their input on how these screens should work. -- David Cantrell <dcantrell@xxxxxxxxxx> Supervisor, Installer Engineering Team Red Hat, Inc. | Honolulu, HI | UTC-10 _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
