[Sugar-devel] [Karma] State of Chakra and knavbar

[Bryan Berry]

Pavel, KCD (Christoph), Felipe,

sorry i haven't been very active this week. Pls blame it on Nepal's
festival season and the fact that I was sick earlier this week.

I will take a look at the code today. 

KCD, did you ever convert knavbar to E4X?

Pavel, I have put my comments in line w/ yours

That would be awesome. If you have particular ideas for the icons, u can
communicate them to Om as he is the master artist.

I like the idea of changing the opacity

We should be able to fix this by monkeying around w/ the js, i think

the round 'thingy' is literally a chakra, meaning wheel in Nepali. It
needs to stand out more and look like a button. right now it looks like
part of the background so it isn't intuitive to click on it.

I think the pop-up is the way to go. But more like an overlay like growl
is in Mac OS X, but bigger.
