I myself don't have the skills to do it.
I understand the time-pressure the release-schedule inflicts on us, so
let's keep it simple. If the
http://librarian.launchpad.net/1632715/logout4x.png idea can't be done:
I'd say going for a polished
http://librarian.launchpad.net/1612883/logout2x.png would be a huge
improved. (This is IMHO, of course).
This means the following changes to current dapper:
1) re-ordering the icons in the current logout-dialog
2) Adding the titles in the black on grey like you say
Keep in mind the following:
logout2x.png does *not* show the sleep option, but it is in current
Dapper. Sleep should be under "Pause Session" of course.
So that would mean:
+--------------------------------------+
| End Session |
| |
| [log out] [restart] [shut down] |
| |
| ---------------------------- <-- already existing seperation line
| |
| Pause Session |
| |
| [lock screen] [sleep] [hibernate] |
| |
+--------------------------------------+
