Yes Gary, I was also thinking that we should add this advice in Sugar's HIG

We could use a single icon like TamTam Synth's sound presets (a memorise like document would do), or try for a custom icon for each game like Walter tried for Abacus – if there are good candidates (addition, letters, sounds).

As we are already late, I can try to do this change before monday
meeting.  Gonzalo, if you updated the patches, please send them to me.

> Raises an interesting issue regarding disabling of a primary toolbar icon with a secondary palette, or do we just disable the demo game buttons on the secondary palette. Need to watch for corner cases, e.g if the demo game secondary toolbar is already open when a user clicks customize. Perhaps we do not need to disable the demo game selection now that we have the warning message (i.e. allow users to load in different demo games so they can see/edit the cards directly in customise mode)?
