[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Global create-new/modify icon

[forster at ozonline.com.au]

Hi

Maybe there are two concepts and two icons. One is 'create a new document' and the other 'expose the inner workings'. A more extreme example, in the Sliderule Activity, you can create custom sliderules with fragments of Python code. Thats inner workings. Is a new Memorise game more like a new Write doc or a new sliderule?
