Hi! I have already written about simulating the laptop's display with Xephyr, with color swizzling, antialiasing, and a postprocessing to restore good luminosity.
There is a last process that is useful in previewing what things will look like: "shrinking" reduces the size of images by half in a way that takes the color swizzling into account (see [1] for more details on all these processes). Half-sized images are a good preview of the overall feeling of the laptop's display, since they should approximately have the right dimension (considering that the resolution of common screens -- 96 dpi -- is half that of the OLPC display -- 200 dpi). Using these simulation tools, I've written a small review of several theme and graphical elements (fonts, thin lines, buttons, etc.) here: http://www.manucornet.net/pub/olpc/theme_and_display/ I hope this can be useful :-) Cheers, Manu [1] http://wiki.laptop.org/go/GTK_for_OLPC#Simulation_Tools _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/sugar
