Mockups

These are draft 4, updated 24 August 2009.

Changelog

• 'Local' devices tab has been renamed to 'Basic'
• Added IQN to search, multipath, and other SAN devices tabs
• s/Fiber/Fibre
• New filter icon is used consistently across screens
• "Basic vs Advanced Installation" is now renamed "Installation to Basic or Specialized Devices"
• Chopped off UNIX-style device names (woowoo!)
• Modified data vs install target selection screen such that install target list widget is much more compact (so we can fit the longer WWIDs now that we've cut the UNIX-style device names)

Icon Work

Design Team ticket 63 concerns the updating of icons in Anaconda. Some icons may need to be redesigned/created also as part of this UI redesign effort. Some notes on this follow.

• clean install
• multiboot install (don't overwrite other OSes)
• upgrade

Here's some icons to demonstrate these:
