Hi James,
Well I've been working here in Afghanistan around 2 years on this one
now. I am going to the schools, talking with kids, and meeting
teachers etc. I live out here with not too many breaks back home! I
have even gone to school in Kandahar...
For those of us who are involved with OLPC
I don't think you need to do any studies about whether kids want to
customize their computers. This has been a constant message from
deployments since day 1. The first thing kids did with the very first
XOs fielded was slap stickers all over them to customize them.
Unfortunately, kids have no

Changing the colors is just editing
/usr/share/themes/sugar-72/gtk-2.0/gtkrc in a safe and reasonably
upgrade-friendly way, right?
Hi,
I guess the crux of the issue is the link between the developers (of
whom some are working on deployments and dealing with features that
are important to them) and the ground out in places like here.
If we want to create something more inclusive I'm sure a lot of
deployments would like to

I'm not certain that editing the existing gtkrc will be sufficient
(although it would certainly be a good start). As my history briefly
explained, Sugar was not designed to be 'colored' in the sorts of ways
a kid might want. (We might care whether the text/icons are easily
readable; they might

The most popular request on the ground here follows from the same

Is that bountysource.com ? I guess this looks like we're talking
about a week of work to get it done. I will check out these bounty
sites this evening - but mine is up there? Other deployments? We all
