<div dir="ltr"><a href="http://xo-whs.wikispaces.com/Sugar+UI">http://xo-whs.wikispaces.com/Sugar+UI</a> is this useful feedback? flux, year 10 student australia, has been slack in recording his criticisms (tends to mouth off with a negative but informed tone) but I sat with him and wrote them down myself, insisting on a bit more detail - he's one of two students in the class who knows some linux (more than me) - he felt the xo was lacking compared with other linux distributions XO DISLIKES <ul><li>Slow to load initially</li><li>Loading (splash) screen for each activity is sad, dull, not worth it</li><li>Games done cheaply compared with GNOME and KDE games</li><li>mouse pointer is too big</li><li>wants ability to replace XO icon with different icons</li> <li>wants ability to create a new background</li><li>want <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxbox" rel="nofollow">fluxbox</a>, a better GUI</li></ul> btw I have asked the class to try to put themselves, at least some of the time, into the shoes of a 6-10 yo child from the developing world when providing feedback - but have also said that I want to hear  negatives as well as positives (note the final para from death-god, he's not able to think outside the MS paradigm at this point - I plan to do some more talking about these issues next term) one memory that this triggered in me was mark shuttleworths ubuntu manifesto: <a href="http://billkerr2.blogspot.com/2007/06/mark-shuttleworths-ubuntu-manifesto.html">http://billkerr2.blogspot.com/2007/06/mark-shuttleworths-ubuntu-manifesto.html</a> #13 "pretty" as a feature </div>
