I think I understand your request and issue and I sympathize (see below for some concrete suggestions). I think you've just used a "FOSS-style system": convince people that can help with the current problem to help you. When you say "more inclusive", how do you mean? > Would it be possible that someone could create a survey that could > be given to deployments?

I think if somebody tried that, they'd get criticised for telling the deployments what they could have :). I don't say it's a bad idea - just that it's hard to create a survey when you don't know the problems (or the problems would take a few pages of very small font to list). > In the meantime I still know our kids want their pretty colours! To change some colors, edit /usr/share/themes/sugar-72/gtk-2.0/gtkrc. You can edit the entries in the file, then start a new activity to test your changes. The entries you might like to edit include: style "button" { fg[NORMAL] = "#000000" #### affects the text color fg[ACTIVE] = "#000000" #### affects the text color color["bg_color"] = "#FFFF00" #### affects the background color } ...and style "checkbutton" { fg[NORMAL] = "#FF0000" #### affects color of text fg[PRELIGHT] = "#00FF00" #### affects color of text fg[ACTIVE] = "#00FF00" #### affects color of text } ...and style "entry" { base[NORMAL] = "#FF0000" #### affects background of text input areas text[NORMAL] = "#00FF00" #### affects text color of text input areas } The documentation includes: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.11/gtk-Resource-Files.html#id2851866 > I guess I would have to try and formalize an exact deliverable for the > bounty That'd be a really good. > Regards, > > -Mike Martin
