The reordering to fit a taxonomy would be orthogonal to however we render the sequence of icons. I am not sure of the optimal way to map a multidimensional space onto a one-dimensional axis, but we do have category information in ASLO. Regarding recoloring, that would be a major UI paradigm shift. But we could perhaps use some other visual attribute besides color to indicate commonality. -walter > Hilaire > > > _______________________________________________ > Sugar-devel mailing list > Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel > -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
