Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-store

Software Store trunk r179, Ubuntu Karmic

The icons for the items in the navigation pane ("Get Free Software", "Installed Software") are, by default, much taller than the items' labels.

They should at least roughly match the size of the text of the navigation pane, like the icons in the panel's "Places" menu does.

Its trivial to fix, I attached a screenshot. It looks a bit odd with the big icons in the category screen and the small ones in the viewswitcher on the left.

That looks better. The idea is for the navigation pane here to look much the same as it does in Rhythmbox, Banshee, or Evolution.

  * softwarestore/view/viewswitcher.py:
    - make the iconsize 24px (LP: #425797)
  * data/ubuntu-software-store.desktop.in:
    - add "NoDisplay=true", we enforce showing it at a special
      location via a gnome-panel patch (LP: #426209)
  * merge fixes from rugby471, many thanks!
  * softwarestore/view/appview.py:
    - sort in locale friendly way
  * softwarestore/app.py:
    - call setlocale() to ensure python-apt provides translated
      package descriptions
  * do not display progress circle once the screenshot has
    loaded (LP: #425859) - thanks to rugby471
