Title:
Install button and progress indicator is not prominent enough
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Ubuntu Software Center Version 5.2.1
The Install button is dwarfed by the package information and
description. The install button and progress indicators could be as
large as the package name, and perhaps slightly higher than it is now.
With Synaptic, it's much easier to tell that something is happening.
Great example: I'm installing Skype right now and the little orange
progress bar isn't moving. It's not completely clear that it IS a
progress bar, since it doesn't have any label, no percentage and no
progress message. I finally wonder if clicking on the Progress menu
item above it might do something. And sure enough, it tells me that in
fact, there will be no progress in the foreseeable future. It's
"waiting for Synaptic to exit" -- except that it never told me that I
needed to exit Synaptic. While Synaptic says loud and bold that a
conflicting instance is running and it won't do anything until I stop
it.
