Bug Description

In the mockup attached you can see what the user is currently shown when an ISO is downloading. This is not clear and should be made aligned etc.

Below the current appearance, in the mockup attached, you can see several ideas of what we could do with this space instead.

Any preferences?

HI Andrew!

I like your idea, specially the second mockup, right after the current one.

I'll change it as per your mockup in the next few days since I'm on vacation right now.

However, before introducing further changes I want to get TestDrive GTK into Ubuntu Maverick repositories given that we are already with Feature Freeze on us. Once that's done it is easier for me to get the new UI changes into the archive!

Thank you for your contributions. I'm assigning this bug to me :)

Hey Andres,

I think that the italics is unnecessary and makes it looks less professional, The bold differentiates it from the rest of the text so this is not needed. I also feel all the bottom text should be in bold, otherwise it is a bit too visually confusing. Finally if you could align the left side of the spinner with the left side of the text on top, it would make it look even better!

Great job so far :)

Hi Andrew,

The new version of TestDrive (3.1) has improved the way the downloading iso is showed, However I've been trying to get the spinner to the left with the ISO name, but no luck;. If you find a way to do it please let me know or attach a patch. Also, I've removed the ETA and stuff for now.

I'm marking this bug as Fix Released.
