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 🙂

~~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:~~

EDIT: I found out that there is already a package repository for Etcher that I didn’t know about.
