Nice new look, you mentioned in the features, but I think it’s worth a screenshot.

The orange for the working button is also awesome, I know it’s just colours, but somehow makes me a happy camper.

Seen @konmouz working on it, it’s really cool to see it out in the wild :slight_smile:

I built .debs of these for installation on Debian (or Ubuntu) systems for anyone who prefers to use the package manager. These are totally unofficial and unsupported packages!

Again, these are unsupported but they work for me on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

To install, download them and either double-click on them (on Ubuntu or other systems with a graphical package manager) or:

64-bit:

dpkg -i etcher_1.0.0-beta19_amd64.deb
32-bit: ``` dpkg -i etcher_1.0.0-beta19_i386.deb ```

EDIT: I found out that there is already a package repository for Etcher that I didn’t know about. Please see: https://github.com/resin-io/etcher#debian-and-ubuntu-based-package-repository-gnulinux-x86x64
