[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] age by year instead of by groups of years

[Walter Bender]

We've been asked (by OLPC AU) to make the age selection granularity be
one year rather than the current 2-3 years.* Rather than clutter the
AboutMe panel with more "pickers", I have been playing with a slider
as illustrated in [1]. The icon grows as the age increases and the
label changes to reflect the current age.

A few ideas for improvements?

(1) just scale the gender icons instead of having a separate icon
(2) center the icon that is scaled
(3) move the icon with the slider
(4) vertical (would be easier if we do #1)
(5) no slider: just drag on the icon up or down (maybe with up and
down buttons above and below)

Other ideas?

Gonzalo kindly made [2] as a possibility.

* The also want the ability to enter grade (K-7)
