I just saw the new disk image packaging for the first time (on a branch build). I think the new disk image background is just plain confusing. I see that it's trying to communicate to the user about dragging Camino to the Applications folder and ejecting the disk image without using text, but it took me too long to figure that out. I think many users will try to interact with components of the blue "instructions", and just get frustrated. Also, the big "eyeball" with the camino icon in the center is scarey-looking.

One thing I've seen on another disk image is to actually create a symlink to /Applications on the disk image, so that the folder is right there and the user can drag the app into it.

Actually, it looks like this (the lower part of the image is cut off) Even if you keep the image, you should make the Window large enough to show all of it Running 10.4.2

Comment 3 is bug 305369.

This is a new background image for the disk image. I removed the big "eye" on the background and I made sure the diagram is now less looking like a "clickable object" but more and integrated part of the window.

Do we actually want the pictorial instructions?

Comment on attachment 195149 [details] new disk image background As discussed on irc, this doesn't have enough dead space - it needs 35px at the bottom :(

K so I solved the absurd padding issues by just moving the whole diagram to the top. Looks pretty darn good to me. Simon: the reason why we want a diagram is that we wanted somthing to explain the install process without text. So that we don't have trouble with localising. Also FF and TB now also have this same kind of diagram to explain the install process.

Jasper also provided this new icon for the dmg.

look, ma, hand-made!

Getting this in for 1.0a1 so that we can make use of user feedback. I'm also expecting to have various body parts read to us with regard to the ugly pain of a license.

The interweb agrees with me: http://softwaretrenches.com/2006/09/dmg_disk_image_is_the.html
