Title:
Hide Banner
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
In Software-Center 5 which is shipped with Ubuntu oneiric ocelot a new
area is introduced, which is reserved for "featured" apps and other
promotions.
There are four problems with this banner, which should be fixed.
1) The first banner should be the "Ubuntu Software-Center Banner".
2) After seeing all features/promotions in a slide-show, there is probably no
use, in seeing these again and again. So it would be useful to mark all slided
banners in the list as slided and slide to the beginning, when the next one is
a marked one. (In this case the "Ubuntu Software-Center Banner" is shown, cause
it's the first one. You're also able to slide through the banners manually, so
the information this area provides is not lost)
3) On little screens the banner takes quite a lot space. Instead of the big
banner it should be possible to choose between three types/options:
* Big banner
* Notification area which informs that there are new features/promotions
available. A Button enables the big banner for this session only.
* Hide banner
4) It should be possible to select types of features/promotions in which you
are interested seeing. (office, game, commercial, ...)
Maybe it's easier to implement the banner as list like the "What's
new"-List or "Top rated"-List. It would not take that much space, it
does not slide all the time and if you want to see more, there is
always the "See more"-Button, though the "selective-
features/promotions" isn't available yet.
