I would prefer that items not installed have greyed-out icons rather than just removing them. That would let any knowledgeable administrator know that the item is available and can be installed.
I was thinking of a set up for new users. Greyed out icons would be more confusing and as cluttered as it is now. An icon should only appear to show something that is there. A knowledgable user would know whether or not he/she had, for example, NIS installed and if they didn't have it installed they would know that they would have to install it. Thats why i suggested the "Add Service/Harware" option, once this is selected it could then list the items that could be installed. regards ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
