[Bug 3226] Re: Evolution should use GtkAboutDialog

[Andy Price]

A quick flick through the Gnome HIG[1] tells me that there isn't a standard icon for the credits button. Although, I just looked at about fifteen About boxes from different applications and the majority of them (mainly Gnome-intrinsic ones) used the icon with four stars. Evolution seems to be out of the ordinary in that respect. Of course, other apps have no standard at all and all have their own About boxes e.g. firefox, gaim, xchat etc.

Conclusion: evolution is bucking a Gnome application trend by only having one star on its About box credits button (therefore I'm confirming this bug) but if you consider all of Ubuntu's packaged apps , it's just another different looking About box.
