Some Q's: Actually the icons are all the same sizes but some icons have a bit of padding around them, others don't. In any case, we only want to use one size of icon. > - How flexible do you think I need to make the icon and button > sizes?

Good question....my guess is that we do not need icon only mode but maybe someone else can correct me here. > - Do we need scrollbars? :) If there are too many icons to fit on the screen, yes :D > - Spacing is easily configurable and will layout correctly centered Excellent > - Doesn't have anything across the bottom like "favorites" If we were to put the apps which are favorites, or most oftenly used it would not be necessary. This is also the case if we only include enough icons to fit on one screen (and therefor no scrollbar) - naturally this is limiting though and differs from device to device. > - Doesn't support categories of any sort. With the limited number of apps installed (even with a scrollbar) I wonder if this is necessary. > - I made the 3 button images configurable so they should be > themable. These would have to be added to the theme I guess Yes, they probably should be added. In addition it would be necessary to pick some of the colors from the template (the part which is used to define the gtkrc colors) and add them to the css file. > - The button images I made with my super gimp skills are not > transparent or clever so they look stinky when not on a black > background.

For now we can leave it I guess. -- Ken -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
