Tomeu,
I've had no luck modifying background color for anything except buttons.
No boxes, even when the box is completely empty.
Does anyone know how to change the color of the entire screen, or of a box?

I don't really care about compatibility, rather I need something that will
work on Linux systems, and something with compression.
USB flash drives have controllers that do wear-leveling. They try
really hard to make them look like hard drives. JFFS2 works on raw
flash, so it's not useful.

Hi all,
I noticed a problem when attempting to unsquash the SoaS filesystem and
extract it on to a flashdrive: it's over 1.2GiB.
Since squashfs is read-only, is there a good read-write filesystem that
achieves decent compression (while not carrying too steep a speed penalty on
older systems) that

Hello,
I was wondering if there was any policy in Sugar wrt triggering of
settings. For example, some systems like GNOME has a policy of
"instant apply", where any setting which is modified takes effect
immediately[1]. After going through some of the sections in the Sugar
control panel, it seems w

Great idea, I added a suggestion to add [[Category:Feature requested

Don't forget to categorize categories so people can find them.
