[Sugar-devel] Sugar Paint Project

[Gonzalo Odiard]

Hi Sneha,
I have tried your activity, a few comments below:
Please subscribe to sugar-devel mailing list (
https://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel)
and reply to all, not just me. There are other people with more experience
than me
on this specific area, like  Puneet, that gently offered help.

The XO starts ok, and works.

First of all, you need add a Stop button to close your activity. Second,
you need use the right widget for your activity icon,
that will be painted with the user colors and then you know that
communication with the sugar os is working.
You can download Develop activity (
http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4058)
create a "Hello world" web activity, and see the code used.

Also look at the activity in development by Michael. He achieved a better
integration of the tools
in the toolbar, and the activity looks more like a Sugar activity.

Try to talk with Puneet and Michael, and work together,
is better have one good Paint activity, than two half good activities,
and work with others is the key on open source projects :)
