Font configuration

Users need a way to be able to customize the Sugar font size.

  • Feature page
  • Needed: Control Panel section to increase/decrease the font size, icon for section, section layout

Thumbs View in 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(Journal related, pure text from could be dragged as usual) that could be dragged are object icon in list view and thumb in thumbs view?

  • implementing scheme when any space in row(list view) and cell(thumbs view) could be dragged is(of course) possible in new journal but requires not obvious coding
  • does it make sense if empty space(in list view row) could be dragged as journal object, moreover it's easy to make a mistake and drag wrong object

Hover over mode

Should ObjectChooser highlight current item, <=0.84 has this feature, 0.86 doesn't.

 

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.

  '+' layout

  '+' layout and do not mess changed/unchanged colors for "arrows"

  grid of predefined colors

Moved

Tags in Journal

Multiple selections in the Journal
