Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
Given that a lot of work is recently going into freeing vertical screen space, the item count in the status bar of the software center is a very good candidate for something to be removed.
I'm not aware of other uses of the status bar in the software center, I have only seen a counter of the number of items in the window above. This is very seldom useful. it might be better to move these numbers in brackets after the named categories in the sidepane, or omit them completely.
Additional information:
Ubuntu Software Center 2.1.22.4
Ubuntu maverick (development branch) 10.10
Screen: 1024x600 (eeepc)
