Activity olpc-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?
