Activities/XoEditor
About xoEditor
xoEditor is an activity that can be used to create different color combinations for the XO icon at the heart of the Sugar interface.
XO Editor is available for download at the Sugar Activity Library.
Note: As of Version 3, you can save your changes to gconf.
Using XOEditor
You launch XOEditor from the Home View by clicking on the Activity icon. Once the activity has opened, you will see an XO icon in the center of the screen surrounded by colored circles. The circles are color "stroke-fill" combinations. By clicking on a circle, the XO icon takes on those colors. You can save a selected color combination using the Save Button on the Main Toolbar.
- Did you know that you can drag the dots around on the screen? The repositioned dots are saved to the Sugar Journal and will be restored when you relaunch the Activity.
- Did you know that you need to restart Sugar in order to load the new colors?
The toolbars
On the Main Toolbar, from left to right:
- The Activity Toolbar button

Alerts
XOEditor uses the Sugar alert system to: (1) confirm that you really do want to save the new colors you have selected; and (2) to alert you to the fact that the new colors will only be loaded upon a restart of Sugar.
