== Summary ==

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.

:A new design has been brought on the table. The arrows could be dropped (current design [1]) from the design and only next/previous fill/stroke XOs colors  on all 4 sides of the large one could be shown.

This would make it possible to adjust the color in four directions. The form can be seen as a plus, not to be confused with a cross. Walter has been proposed to make the code changes needed for this design proposal.

Buttons are added to either side of the XO icon currently used to randomly cycle through the valid-XO-color list. On the left is a button that cycles through the list in one direction. On the right is a button that cycles through the list in the other direction. Smaller XO icons to the left and right of the new buttons show a preview of the colors that will be selected if the button (or icon) is pressed. <strike>There is also a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-Z) to undo the last change.</strike>

Buttons are added to either side of the XO icon currently used to randomly cycle through the valid-XO-color list. On the left are two buttons that cycles through the list to change the fill color. On the right are two buttons that cycles through the list to change the stroke color. The buttons farthest to the edge cycle one way; the buttons closest to the center cycle the other way, so they act as undo buttons for each other. The buttons always show a preview of the colors that will be selected if the button (or icon) is pressed. <strike>There is also a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-Z) to undo the last change.</strike>

''The Sugar Release Notes inform end-users about what is new in the release. An Example is [[0.84/Notes]]. The release notes also help users know how to deal with platform changes such as ABIs/APIs, configuration or data file formats, or upgrade concerns.  If there are any such changes involved in this feature, indicate them here.  You can also link to upstream documentation if it satisfies this need. This information forms the basis of the release notes edited by the release team and shipped with the release.''

The Sugar color-selector in the "About Me" control panel section has been modified to allow the Sugar user to cycle through different combinations of stroke and fill colors. This replaces the "random" color selector.
