Ubuntu Software Centre 4.0

The next version of the Ubuntu Software Centre (version 4.0) will have many new features such as rating applications and the ability for users to donate to their favouriite open source projects. I think that a new interface is also something that version 4 could do with. I know that every version of the Software Centre has had a new interface but all of them especially the latest one seem slightly bland and boring, something with more colour and visuals would be better in my opinion. This is what I have in mind, let me know what you think. The sizes of the the various categories depend on how many items are available under that category, for example the system category has 28151 items (on my system) making it the largest category and Universal Access has only 13 items making it the smallest category and this is reflected in my design. Made with GIMP & Inkscape as always. W'salaam ~ Peace

*NOTE* There is no menu bar because of the Global menu that will be introduced with Natty Narwhal (Ubuntu 11.04)

*NOTE 2* Improved mock-up [link]
