| − | You can make Sugar run in a window as well as specify a resolution. Within the sugar-jhbuild/install/share/sugar/shell directory, backup, then edit the python program file '''emulator.py''': | + | You can make Sugar run fullscreen or specify a size (in pixels): |
| | | | |
| − | cd sugar-jhbuild | + | ./sugar-jhbuild run sugar-emulator --fullscreen |
| − | cp install/bin/sugar-emulator install/bin/sugar-emulator.backup
| + | ./sugar-jhbuild run sugar-emulator --dimensions 1200x900 |
| − | nano install/bin/sugar-emulator | |
| | | | |
| − | Find this piece of code:
| + | The default size of 800x600 is currently the minimum that should work without issues. I.e. activities should be tested to work in this mode (and in others as well). |

| − | Sugar will now run on a 800x600 window. This file may be replaced next time you update sugar-jhbuild, and you'll have to do this again. Also note that 800x600 is not an optimal resolution for the window, because the activity circle will be vertically off center. 1024x768 is a more useable resolution.
