A couple of related questions, this could just be mis-calibrated expectation from visual design on my part so please don't take them as criticism - merely an attempt to clarify: 1) where the visual design differentiates from the toolkit (Gtk+) is the intention that we should use the toolkit provided widgets or create our own to more closely match the visual design? (for example the tabs for notebook pages in the 'Building Packages' screen). 2) When implementing Hob v1 I tried to follow the GNOME HIG[1] to ensure the app would fit in with the common Linux desktop environments. Should v2 continue that trend? Where the visual design might differ with the HIG which should be preferred? (i.e. the button being flush with the bottom of the window in the Image Configuration screen is what first struck me here). 3) where the visual design uses various colours I assume the intention is to use the colours from the operating systems theme? This is slightly more difficult programatically than hard-coding colours but leads to (in my opinion) a much more pleasing visual experience. (i.e. tooltip and button colours) Finally, I notice that the titlebar calls it HOB, instead of Hob - was that intentional? Hob was always mean as a name, not an acronym. I'm probably confusing visual design for a spec but it's been a while since I worked with the design team and my engineers mind is very literal. This is looking really good!
