    Description

      The 2.5b2 release had a neat and clean dialog for selecting the dashboard portlets.

      The new one in 2.5 and 2.5.1 is cluttered with screenshots of the portlets. This is useless. Everybody knows how a "Project" portlet looks like. The previous links to single screenshots were just perfect.

      A new user who uses this for the first time is owerwhelmed by the amount of data. Any dialog which is several screen pages long is badly designed (check any handbook on usability design).

      The radio buttons for selecting the portlet are hard to find in this mass of screenshots.

      It is against the intuitive and well balanced look and feel of the rest of the JIRA application.

      Solution: please put back the previous version of this dialog.
