Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

The gray color used for the ubuntu partition makes it look like the space is unused because it looks just like the background. See this screenshot:

Please don't use gray as one of the colors, use something that stands out more.

Yes, I noticed this too. Evan, I think we need to fix this before release or risk confusion.

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Use a normal color for the partition bar when use entire disk is
    selected (LP: #273271).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: debian-installer-utils
    1.59ubuntu3, grub-installer 1.32ubuntu6, hw-detect 1.63ubuntu3,
    user-setup 1.20ubuntu7.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Don't mark partman questions as seen when we expect them to be asked
    again (LP: #182004).
  * Set GtkAdjustment page_size to zero in Glade files too.

  [ Emmet Hikory ]
  * install.py: use grub-installer as the boot loader for lpia (LP: #274785)
