Browser identification string


Browser identification for 'Browse' . .

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; chrome://navigator/locale/navigator.properties; rv:1.9a6) Gecko/20070917

Above, is not good. For sites which base on browser capabilities... php 'getbrowse' returns 'none/unknown'. Would be better to return proper formatted browser identification (even if completely new, ? "Sugar/1.0.3 Browse/650 etc".. for display of your current browser string.) See example box on http://garetjax.info/projects/browscap/

Activity sugar-control-panel GUI ?


It would be great if there was an Activity to allow changing of settings and avoid using the command line.

Maybe carry the idea further into a 'skin/theme' customizer ? Update/modify the following:

Basic (might run multiple times)

  • Icon (stroke and fill color)
  • Background pattern/color for Sugar Control Panel
  • Nick Name
  • Wifi Radio on/off
  • Update software (olpc-update)
  • Turn off/on, 4-corner Frame activation
  • Turn on/off, 'hand' buttons as pointer-click

Advanced (typically only once or twice ran)

  • Current time
  • TimeZone
  • Jabber server settings
  • Language settings

File System maintence (Experts only)

  • clear temp areas (/tmp /var/tmp, Cache, etc)
  • Restart OS installation (olpc installed = no)
  • Send configuration/settings information to Tech Support

Hmmm.. maybe I'll make an 'Activity Project' called 'Skin Themes' ?  :) Any comments or people willing to help?
