User experience
The problem you're addressing (if any)
The current UI design of Qubes OS Update has various issues, e.g.
the visual space is not used efficiently: small checkmarks, small individual progress bars, huge empty space
Details use proportional font
Resizing the window does not size elements properly
Yellow checkmark on white background - bad UI
No indication when dom0 should be restarted
No easy way to select/unselect non/standalone qubes
Not selecting any qube and clicking "Update" button says "Update finished" with no progress indication which is meaningless, because no update has happened, nor the "finished" matches the lacking progress indicator. Additionally, in such a scenario the "Select a qube to see details" text also makes no sense (and the "Next" button too).
The solution you'd like
Improved visual design.
The value to a user, and who that user might be
Improved visual design.
