My own perception is. It might be good for Sugar Shell (and sometimes
for Sugar Activities) to follow common design idea with having grey
"background" and objects painted to user's colors to expose the
ownership (or how the original design idea sounds). But I don't see any
reasons to extrapolate this design solution to all software that people
will use/run from Sugar Shell:

* it is impossible because not all edu software is intended to be
  launched only from Sugar Shell;
* well, maybe monotone coloring is a good (not sure here) for madhouses
  or prisons, but for my self, I'm preferring to switch my desktop
  theme/colors from time to time.

So, I'm +1 for not strictly following Sugar Shell's coloring paradigm in
Sugar Network UI. Partial implementation might be still useful though.
For example, using user's colors to expose objects ownership.

But maybe it makes sense to forget about this paradigm entirely.
It works fine/as-assumed in Sugar Shell when there is a central user -
local user and limited number of users that local one is participating
with. So, the coloring variety is pretty limited. But, in Sugar Network
case when objects are global (at least assumed to be) within the entire
Sugar community, it is becoming meaningless - there is a big chance
to see duplicates or similar looking colors.

There a need to explain "what this button means". In regular desktop
UI it is hints. Not sure whats the common practice in Web design for
that. But for sure, +1 for somehow exposing such info.

Could you elaborate it in English.

I think it will be a good start to attach activity objects (from
Journal). We can improve this workflow at any time later.

These points is also not clear after mechanical translation.
