Cool. :) Some feedback:

Not sure how this is relevant: when I click on “Text language”, the
pop-over has an arrow pointing at the relevant line in the settings.
Fine, but the arrow is currently pointing to the middle of the line,
which is right empty. I wish it would be pointing at something but the
value is on the right and might be simply too far. Dunno.

Is “Language” as the title for the first part a good word? Timezone
selection is not really language…

The text says “Custom settings” but if I manually select the default
settings again it keeps telling me this is custom. Given that we give an
indication that they are custom, it feels an action that would take me
back to the defaults is missing. All and all, I'm not sure how useful
this is. The defaults for locale settings are likely wrong for almost
all users unless they don't care about their timezone but live in the
US.

I am happy about the encrypted storage prompt except that the lock icon
should probably not appear when no storage is configured. Nothing is
encrypted at this point.

I have doubts about the “Save Privacy Changes” as it is now regarding
network related settings. The fact that I need to disable MAC Address
spoofing or use Tor bridges is going to depend mostly on the network I'm
connecting to. The thing I would want to save is “I need to hide that
I'm using Tails (as much as possible)” though.

Why are “Password” and “Verification” buttons in the administrative
password pop-over? Shouldn't they be labels?

The mouse movements when adding Privacy Settings feel akward. Moving to
dialog to pop-over is quite weird. I'm not entirely convinced by the +/-
thing but maybe I could get used to it.

The “+” button should disappear when all options have been added,
otherwise the dialog is blank.

Also I can't cancel the dialog once it has been opened, but maybe it's a
window manager thing. At least, pressing Escape should close it.

I'd love to see a map for the timezone selection. Someday, though.

I think the keyboard navigation really needs to be improved. When the
window appears, I'd like to press enter and see the “Text language”
search appear. I should then be able to type “Fra” followed by enter to
select French. This should move me directly to select keyboard and
everytime I press enter get moved to the next setting.

Also, in the previous greeter, other locale related fields had
preselection depending on the language that was selected. Is this
something that we want to also have here?

The passphrase should be erased from memory as soon as the persistence
device is unlocked. Currently if I click “Lock” the passphrased appears
again.


Very happy to be able to play with this! :)
