To change the color of the XO symbol at the center of your [http://www.laptop.org/laptop/start/homeview.shtml Home View], launch the [[Terminal |
|||
activity]] |
|||
At the prompt, type just one of the following example commands: |
|||
sugar-control-panel -s color green purple medium dark (press "Enter") |
|||
sugar-control-panel -s color blue yellow medium light (press "Enter") |
|||
The first color you specify will apply to the XO figure's outline.<br> |
|||
The second color will apply to the XO figure's internal color.<br> |
|||
The 2 light/medium/dark values that follow the colors are optional. They specify the darkness of the outline and internal color respectively. To ensure that the color scheme you choose is readable when the display is in monochrome mode, the outline and internal light/medium/dark values can not be the same. If you try to make them the same, they will be silently set to be different.<br> |
|||
For further help, type: |
|||
sugar-control-panel -h color (press "Enter") |
|||
Restart [[Sugar]] by pressing these 3 keys at once: Ctrl-Alt-Erase. |
