Today I applied the new Robert Lihm‘s theme called Bento to GameStore web, so it doesn’t look like a quick hack anymore. This theme, which will be used across all openSUSE.org websites in the future, will also help to integrate GameStore into rest of the openSUSE infrastructure. You can visit the site by clicking on the mandatory screenshot below. :-)

    On game store, under Simulation you can see foobillard and a one-click-install for openSUSE 11.2. Problem is: foobillard is not present on any 11.2 repository (webpin cannot find it). I fact, I grabbed the package from the 11.0 repository and manually installed it.
    Beside that, the site looks better. It still need some explanatory text (it is quite bare before you click any icon), but definitely better.

    GameStore only serves one-click install files. It is not able to detect whether the package is built or not. (Regarding foobillard, there were some problems and the package is broken at the moment.)

    I also added short introductory text to the right when you start the page :-)

    Nice work! Was thinking OS needs something like this, to get the message out about “1-click Install” which seems lost on so many distro reviewers. If only we could pre-load keys to the common repo’s and eliminate more of the clicks!

    Will there be a searchable “Store” for non-games to make “Install Software” browsable rather than using the mighty (but under appreciated by the uncultured) YaST Software Manager?

    An idea: you could distinguish between packages for different oS releases by using different colour or different sizes of the green geekos in the middle of right panel.

    Actually, a row of increasing size geekos (from the smallest to the biggest) would look rather cute :)
