Kudos!

I have this program on my DS, and it is amazing on that platform. It's such a shame that the current version of the XO doesn't have a touchscreen—otherwise, the experience would be largely the same. It's my understanding that the XO 2.0 will have one, though, so that's something to look forward to. I haven't tried your port on the XO, yet, but the screenshots look great. —Joe 18:30, 11 January 2008 (EST)

Fancy an activity icon?

I've made these activity icons a while ago. They are "sugarized" SVG's, ready for use, and you can have them if you think they one of them fits the activity. Looking forward to seeing Colors! using the tablet mode of the touchpad :)

Activity-tuxpaint.svg

Activity-tuxpaint6.svg

Any sugestions to improve the icons to fit more with the activity, are welcome as well! I'm not sure which one I prefer...HoboPrimate 22:08, 16 January 2008 (EST)

Hi, I've redone the icon, so that the paint beneath the brush doesn't intersect it, when it is on the activity bar. I also tried a new layout for both. I prefer it, it seems to integrate better with the style of the other icons, but tell me what you think.
