OK, here's a like-for-like swap out of the old toolbar design for the new proposed design: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Design_Team/Proposals/Toolbars If only we could make the existing API build the same thing without Activity code changes ;-) Regards, --Gary P.S. As always, better icon suggestions appreciated. The icon version of the "Share with:" palette should be carefully crafted as this will/ should appear in most Activities. P.P.S Eben, I wanted to ask if preventing a user from making an Activity 'private' again (after sharing), was a conscious design choice, or just an insurmountable technical issue? One use case seems to be sharing an Activity work in progress with a teacher and/or peer for review, and then wanting to work on it again privately. Current UI forces a user into a collaboration all or nothing choice. _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
