Not sure where to discuss/provide feedback. I’ll comment here.

- The clean, fresh design is nice!

- Is “English” preselected? Hopefully the “English” language option is preselected so the most common use case doesn’t require an additional click.

Maybe a little checkmark to the left of the current language could indicate this. This would let the user know they can skip past this step without clicking anything more if we have already selected the most common option.

- The on/off rocker switch example is confusing. As others have mentioned, ‘off’ or ‘on’ could be interpreted as either the current state or is the action to be taken when clicked. A possible alternative would be to use radio buttons and add one more option “Default theme” that is the prechecked radio option. I would rename the entire panel so just “Camoflage” or “Theme” instead of specifically “Windows Camoflage”. Doing both of these (using radios and renaming the panel) would also allow for adding another theme like OS X by just adding a new radio option.

- I might rename “Bridges” to “Tor Bridges” for clarity even on a user’s first use.

Otherwise looks great.

Minor grammar typo. It says:

you choosed french language

should be

you chose french language

https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/tails-greeter:_revamp_UI/greeter.png -> the “others” option should be bold, to differenciate from the languages

https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/tails-greeter:_revamp_UI/greeter+persistence+kbd.png -> once the language is selected, one country should be selected by default (french -> France, spanish -> Spain, etc), so that at least some people don’t have to click a second time. How do you show which one is selected? I think it should be grey, and/or bold.

There are many spelling mistakes, but I guess it was a first try. Should I list them and their corrections, or is it too early for that?
