Many older activities were designed for the 4:3 aspect ratio 1200x900 pixel display of the original OLPC XO laptop, which had a button to rotate the screen by 90°.
Now Sugar is being used on other laptops and computers with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and higher resolutions, and screen rotation may occur automatically. Display resolution may also change when an external display is plugged in. The project is to deploy a set of solutions specific to each activity; * for backgrounds; either redesign the background image for higher resolutions, or use tiling, * for game assets; either redesign the asset as a vector, or redesign for a higher resolution, * detect resolution changes and resize user interface elements, * test on all standard resolutions and 90° rotations. Technologies needed: PNG, SVG, Inkscape, git, Python, GTK, and Pygame. Skills needed: graphic design, software design, and software maintenance. -- James Cameron http://quozl.netrek.org/ _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
