What information does the opened/closed box icon give, apart from "we
have good graphists"?
Open = installed, closed = not installed. The icons also change if you
select them to be added or removed.
That's, errr, non-obvious. At all. I don't see how an icon can
convey that kind of thing in an obvious way, to be honest. A
word+color code combination would probably be better.
Colour is a bad indicator as many people don't "do" colour.
I think the icon idea is OK but the box icon isn't very obvious. I think
something along the lines of a globe with a downwards pointing green
arrow overlaid on top could represent "not installed, package needs to
be retrieved/downloaded", whilst installed packages could be represented
by a silver hard disk icon, perhaps with word 'installed' written on the
hard disk label.
