Description Allan Day 2017-10-25 17:09:34 UTC
The main list views in Software are a bit inconsistent. They're also rather noisy, with information shown when it isn't needed, and the layouts aren't always great.

This bug is intended to track a set of changes to improve the layouts of these lists, so that they look better, are consistent, and are easier to read.

The changes include:

 * Breaking up the search results and installed lists into sections, like the updates list.
 * Reducing the size of the icons in the lists, and reducing the height of a lot of the rows.
 * Not showing software descriptions in the installed list.
 * Showing the short description in search results, rather than an extract of the long description.
 * Changing codecs to use applications-multimedia-symbolic.

The relevant mockups are:
