Hi Sebastian, You're right that my mockup was not HIG-compliant - the point was to demonstrate that the dialog could be clear without verbosity.
The details/terminal issue; "Details" may not be it, certainly. "More Information" might work :) As to "Updating"... Maybe "Applying Changes" is the right terminology to use. Finally, I've always found that as long as something is moving or changing in a window, users tend to give long-running changes the time they need to finish. Something as simple as an 'elapsed time' readout could provide this, or a 'bouncing' open-ended progress bar. I don't think text saying "please wait, this could take a while" is as effective as visceral, visual activity. It's really too bad that the animated clearlooks progress bars didn't work out. Just a thought - have you looked at the "Windows Automatic Updates" UI? As soon as updates begin, all windows vanish and an 'Updating' tray icon appears. A tooltip provides status information, but the process gets out of the user's way. Clicking the icon brings up a detailed progress window. Anyway, glad to hear this is slated for a review - thanks for looking over my feedback. -- Strings in "Applying Changes" window are redundant, need usability work https://launchpad.net/bugs/49943 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
