310093 - remove update icon from EM/TM

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Peter van der Woude [:Peter6]]

see screenshot

the icon serves no purpose because we allready have the [update now] button.
In case a orange/red extension icon is used you won't even notice it.
(for red/green colorblind persons this is with gerrn aswell)

As you point out, it's somewhat redundant, and might be hard to notice, but how
does it hurt? Seems like a nice extra touch to me.

With the trunk checkin of bug 329045 the icon now does have a purpose. When an add-on is not selected the green update icon is displayed and the add-on description text is the add-on's description whereas before it was the has an update text. So, the icon now provides notification that there is additional information available and when the add-on is selected the has an update text is displayed below the add-on's description.

resolved -> wontfix
