I really like the look Mikael has created here.
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!
Cheers,
Joshua

Sorry it's a boring document instead of a video: it seemed the only way
to provide the necessary level of detail
Let me know if you have any questions or comments.
