In the end I copy and pasted from the raw text version of the patch with Browse on the ticket, then went to Terminal and created a new patch file with vi and pasted, saved, patched. Hmmm, I wonder if all we would need to close this dog food gap is a simple Patch activity that can resume and apply .patch files from the Journal.

I had sent a new icon to the Scratch team a while ago... there may be
a ticket associated with it as well.

In my default 1024x768 looks like it could be a little more generous with the spacing/size as there's plenty of white space (will try 1200x900 later). Maybe this is another case where the SUGAR_SCALING value of 72 or 100 is limiting layout flexibility for different resolution screens.

Hmm. I did most of my testing at 832x624 to approximate the XO in the
Sugar emulator. I didn't do anything to change the circle spacing --
at least not intentionally -- and I use the same Sugar constant for
the spiral spacing:

distance = style.STANDARD_ICON_SIZE + style.DEFAULT_SPACING

We could play with it some more.
