for as long as its listed, yes.

this is a bit slangy, but it gives it a fun edge, no?

wallpapers, plugins, calendars, addressbooks, sounds, game boards ... "stuf=

nor is it really that much more obvious. "Third Party Addons" says nothing=
=20
about the immediacy ("get") or recency of it ("new"), and those are the two=
=20
most important things to communicate here, really.

as long as we don't start using "Get Hot New Stuff" buttons randomly in our=
=20
interfaces (see how the button in the wallpaper kcm is called "Get New=20
Wallpapers") we should be fine. i think "Get New Wallpapers" is pretty=20
obvious. a bit long winded, but obvious.

and i'm almost tempted to suggest it should be even longer with=20
s,Get,Download, but that would a bit tooooo big.

what would be VERY good, actually, is to come up with a _standardized_=20
language for us on these buttons, preferably with a standard icon and a=20
standard dialog location. that way they can be easily recognized by the use=
r=20
between applications.

and yet the people i showed it to here in our office figured it out pretty=
=20
quickly by looking at the screen shot. amazing.

the kcm could use some layout fix-ups though.
