-===Taking Screen Shots===

-====Changing the "XO Guy"====
-[[Development_Team/Almanac/Making_Icons]] Save yourself some time. Don't make the mistake I made. Before you make an icon, see if it's already on the laptop!
-/usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable on the laptop contains a bunch of icons for your use. Also, svg-grabber is a python script that will download ~800 non-sugar svg's for you to work from.
-To change the XO Guy, the symbol in the middle of the Home view (with applications opening around him/her), you have to follow a few steps:
-*'''Create An Icon''' - You first have to make an icon image and save it as an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file with the name computer-xo.svg. Probably on your Mac or Windows machine. There are instructions on how to do this [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Making_SVG_Icons_for_Sugar on the OLPC wiki].
-*'''Transfer It To Your Computer''' - Copy computer-xo.svg to a USB or SD card and plug it into your OLPC or computer.
-*'''Install it''' - Open Terminal and type the following commands to back-up the original icon and copy your new icon into the correct location:
- su -l
- cp /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/computer-xo.svg /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/computer-xo.svg.bak
- cp /media/<your usb or sd>/computer-xo.svg /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/computer-xo.svg
-*Now close terminal and press Ctrl,Alt,Erase.
-'''Restoring Icon To Original'''
-To restore computer-xo.svg back to the original, open terminal and type:
- su -l
- cp /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/computer-xo.svg.bak /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/computer-xo.svg
- rm /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/computer-xo.svg.bak
