Neil, this is cool. Especially appreciate the .pdf to get a review. A
couple questions:
1. Why resize the dialogs? By default the dialogs are pretty barren when
that big. Why not leave them the same size? If someone has to add controls,
they'll be editing the theme anyway and can make it bigger.
This will change the default experience people have today. We should have
really good reasons why we that in a non-breaking release.
2. I just accepted a change from an old pull request that makes the edit
boxes look "not flat". I accepted that change to make things more
consistent. This change goes the other way. <smile/> Not saying that is
bad but it seems like we should decide and all move in the same direction.
<grin/>
3. Cool, but should the license be floating so far down the page like that?
Also, does the text really say "Click install to continue and Close to
exit"? Isn't that kind of obvious?
4. Should the Hyperlink version information be lined up with the accept
check box the way it is in the RTF theme? Seems like that would look better.
Again, I feel the pages are just too tall now with lots of blank whitespace
in them.
