LOL, good point. That's why I made one though, because until someone does start to express what their thoughts are, it's just a discussion floating around (which is important, don't get me wrong!)
I do like the "Notification-esqu," style to your mockup much more. The present, however; that too may be a bit misleading. :) Perhaps based on what updates they have selected to actually accept: Important, Recommended, Pre-released, Unsupported; maybe that present should be my "Imminent Death," icon; on a Security update, for example. Either way, I like the visuals... One question, does this present an extra step for those designing GDM themes going forward? -Anthony On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 9:44 AM, David Siegel <[email protected]>wrote: > Kind of kitchy, but puts a more positive spin on the updates.
