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 (via olpc-update or yum update or yum upgrade )
- 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?
