You'd be glad to know that we have been working for a while on a new interface for Tails Greeter. Last month we call for comments on a new version of our mockups. See: https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-ux/2014-October/000092.html My answer will be based on that. Feel free to comment on them on [email protected]. > The keyboard layout control is right there, but I didn't realize what > it was for a very long time.

I think that all those concerns are addressed by the new mockups. Note that we also worked on having two different paths to go through custom configuration: a "guided configuration" and a "advanced configuration" screen. So hopefully, newcomers will get less confused by the "guided configuration". See https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/greeter_revamp_UI/ > Again, thank you for Tails.

I'm sorry but I don't know what GoodCrypto is. -- sajolida _______________________________________________ tails-support mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-support To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
