BTW, as a general note, it seems there's a trend building up where quite significant changes to anaconda's design are being made apparently without the design team's involvement. The 'newUI' design was worked on *extensively* by the design team, particularly Mo Duffy, and the whole UI design is a piece. I'm a bit worried that all these changes are compromising the overall 'vision' for how the installer is supposed to work. I think perhaps we should consider running noticeable changes to the anaconda design by the design team for their review and input... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
