Touch screen is nice. Given that Sugar takes the multi-platform strategy, we probably consider removing the "mouse over" gesture. Etoys suffers the problem; it has a "mouse over halo" feature where the user is supposed to stop the mouse cursor on an object 1 second without pushing any buttons. But from my observation, kids are really impatient in that regard. However I say, "don't push the button!", most of kids cannot wait and just push the button in the hope to make it do something. So, even without touch panel, it might be a better idea to avoid mouse over for kids environment. -- Yoshiki _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
