Assigning to developer. We did it this way for a couple of reasons. The big one is that the way you suggested would not fit if the installer was run at 640x480 resolution, which is an option at boot time. However, packing the screen vertically fits in both 800x600 and 640x480. Another thing we were concerned about was how the screen would look in other languages. Lanugagues like German, for example, which has very long words, could scroll off the screen. It would have made packing more difficult. |
The X setup screen in GUI mode looks like this: ----------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------- --------------------------- | | | | | | --------------------------- ------------- | | | | | | ------------- IMHO it would be much prettier like this: ----------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------- --------------------------- ------------- | | | | | | | | | | | | --------------------------- ------------- Thats all folks.
