I working all the time to improve to look of yumex and i have seen these 
mockups before, they look cool, but the problem with these kind of 
mockups, is that they are hard to build, be cause they are not drawn by 
the standard gtk theme used in fedora, so when you use the standard 
widgets to build the same layout, it don't look so sexy.
I is also important for an application to fit in with the rest of the 
system look and have use default font sizes, so people also can read it.
I am always open to suggestions to improve the look and functionality of 
yumex, or even better contributions.

About making a yet another package manager, don't go down on that road, 
  it is a much better idea to work on improving on the one already there
pirut. yumex, PackageKit etc.

PackageKit is a little different than pirut & yumex kind of package 
manager, it is more like tracker,beagle kind of package manager, there 
  yumex & pirut is move like a file manager kind of package manager.
