[Sugar-devel] State of Palettes for GTK+ 3.x
Hello, Palettes are still very broken in the sugar-toolkit-gtk3 branch. The problem is not very simple, and there is some unexpected trouble that we have not been able to figure out yet. For those that haven't heard any details, I'll try to explain what is going on here. In GTK+ 3.x we are not able to use the current hack to embed menus into normal palettes. The idea that we came up with during the Hackfest was to create two separate implementations (the API stays the same). So that either a sugar palette is popped up, or a sugarized GTK+ menu. Alone the fact that we are using a normal GTK+ menu means, that we need to handle grabbing correctly (ie. the opened menu/palette gets all the events). At the same time, doing this also results in proper touchscreen support because palettes can be dismissed by clicking anywhere on the screen. What happens during a grab is, that one widget receives all events. These can be forwarded to other widgets so that they can act upon them. The palettegroup already forwards the mouse-enter/mouse-leave events to all invokers; the idea is that they can keep track of their state. The behaviour that we are currently trying to achive is, that the palette should close after a while when the mouse is outside of the invoker/palette. The trouble is, that we have not been able to figure out how the mouse-enter/mouse-leave events to achieve this. The result of this is that the menu palettes will continuously pop up and down again. I am actually thinking about removing the popdown when the user leaves the palette with the mouse. My idea for the following steps and bugfixes would be: 1. Make normal palettes grab the input, as the menu palette does. 2. Forward mouse click events to the invoker so that it is still possible to interact with them (this is not possible right now) 3. Remove the popdown on mouse leave (only makes sense if 1. is done) 4. Add the title to the menu palette (menuitem likely to be set to insensitive so that it cannot be selected) At that point we should we should have usable palettes, that need to be dismissed by clicking somewhere outside. Hrm, this was longer than expected; I hope it makes sense without too much background, Benjamin ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Hi Benjamin, On 3 Nov 2011, at 20:59, Benjamin Berg ben...@sugarlabs.org wrote: I am actually thinking about removing the popdown when the user leaves the palette with the mouse. This could only really work sanely from a design point of view if exposing a palette via a cursor hover/loiter also went away i.e. having to click outside somewhere to dismiss a palette that was auto triggered by a hovering action would be a painful UX. I guess this all stems from the design decision to have widgets with hover/right-click context menus that also have primary left-click actions. For touch, we'll need to cover this cast by having a touch and hold gesture mimic our current hover/right-click behaviour.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Serial adapter
G'day Alan, Thanks for your question. You can find this adapter from Plan Ceibal, or from the OLPC Association, contact mar...@laptop.org. The same adapter works with XO-1, XO-1.5 and XO-1.75. I've not tested an alternative, but http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Serial_adapters does provide the specifications and pinout.

[Sugar-devel] how to force Sugar Activities to start fresh? (eg. XO OS 11.2.0 = Build 874)
A few week ago here in Haiti Alt-clicking (holding down the Left ALT Key, while launching an Activity) seemed to allow kids to force Activities like Physics to start fresh, instead of re-opening the child's recent work from the Journal. We need that often. Sadly no longer! Anyone know any keyboard/mouse tricks for forcing Sugar Activities to start fresh in general, giving kids a clean slate? Particularly in recent OS vintages like: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/11.2.0 Aside: Holding the Left Alt Key also seemed to gray out the colored/recently-used activities in Sugar's Home View, for what it's worth. -- Help kids everywhere map their world, at http://olpcMAP.net ! ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
Re: [Sugar-devel] [support-gang] how to force Sugar Activities to start fresh? (eg. XO OS 11.2.0 = Build 874)
G'day Adam, The holding down of the alt key in the activity view was introduced in Sugar 0.86 [1], and 11.2.0 is based on Sugar 0.94, and I've tested it just now and the feature works fine for me. Sometimes the left-alt key fails on membrane keyboards. Please test that the alt key works. You can do this easily by opening two activities and using alt-tab to switch between them. If this doesn't work, then there's more investigation to do. Otherwise, you can use the ok prompt to test /keyboard. 1. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.86/Notes#Home_Favourites_View_Improvements -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
