(Get the code!)
Unfortunately this layout is highly misleading.
It’s misleading for the “Encrypt” and “Use LVM” checkboxes to be aligned with the radio buttons above it. That suggests that they are independent of the radio buttons. And it suggests that the radio button group has finished. Neither is the case. This can be fixed by indenting those two options so that they are aligned with the label of the “Replace Windows with Ubuntu” option that they depend on.
Less importantly, it’s misleading to have *more* space between “Replace Windows with Ubuntu” and the two options that actually depend on it, than between it and the “Install Ubuntu alongside Windows” option that it’s exclusive with. The simplest fix is for the spacing to be the same.
Finally, it’s misleading for any options to come after “Something else”. The word “else” refers to things that come before it. So “Something else” should always be the last option.
Fixing those three problems would have a bonus benefit that neither of the separators would be needed any more.
If it’s also possible to change the wording at this late stage, please stop using the phrase “the new installation” three times. Delete both occurrences of “with the new installation”.
