I still think we need to add more emphasis to the status line that indicates the number of features to install.  It just doesn't catch my eye.  Can we make the text large/different colour??   

Also, do we really need to have 'Eclipse Marketplace' in this status area.  Seems a bit redundant, especially since the title of the wizard is Eclipse Marketplace.

The status line message and icon are provided by the Ecilpse platform: unfortunately there's not a lot we can do about this message unless we diverge from platform convention.  Currently we're tracking the issue of install queue visibility in bug 309175.

We're conforming to platform convention here: all Eclipse wizards have a title and description that indicate what each page of the wizard is for.  You'll notice that this title changes as the user progresses through the wizard.  Unless there's a good reason, I suggest that we conform to Eclipse conventions here.
