Enhanced Color Selector
This is an enhancement to the color selector used in the About Me control panel and the initialization screen (same behavior but a different code base). It enables the user to cycle through color choices as well as jump randomly, which is the current default behavior.
- Feature Page
- Mailing list discussion
- The latest question was: Do we need the color selector in the start-screen at all?

Multiple selections in the Journal
Drag icon
What image should be used for drag icon for:
- list view
- thumbs view
Sugars <0.84 used nasty default icon, 0.86 uses default TreeView method - row snapshot. Last method will look nice especially for thumb view but there is an issue, draging large row(list view) or cell(thumbs view) user doesn't see target drop place e.g. icon in volume list
Design_Team/Designs/Frame#15 mockup was implemented alsroot 02:52, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Is it right if only widgets that could be dragged are object icon in list view and thumb in thumbs view?
