Hi, I adapt my code to show how it looks[1]. Code is very simplified, only tricky part is still API for setup which use, for legacy reason and to keep changes minimal, progress value with mixture of time and disk size from which it is computed with some magic number size of steps.

Looks good __ Maybe we could vertically center the progress bar? It currently looks a bit lost at the bottom.
I agree.
Taking a look at the screenshot, I see that:
* the release notes button is not there (already commented in IRC)
Hi, I tried in both qt and ncurses release notes button and check how it behave. In QT it works perfectly, as it just open release notes, but progress is still updated and any issue is properly reported with popup showing on top of release notes. In ncurses it is worse. Opening release notes blocks whole installation process. So it does not just stop updating UI, but it also does not install at all. So reading release notes is bad idea. Question is how to proceed here? The simple proposal I have is to simply not show release notes button in ncurses as majority of local users use qt and for remote ones, there are many other ways how to entertain or read release notes outside of installation process. But of course I welcome any other suggestions. Josef
* maybe we could get rid of the disabled Back and Next button (not sure if it is easily doable) * we could even change the layout for this last step (??) I mean, not dividing it into two sides and placing the header and the progress bar both vertically centered
Just "raising" ideas.
