I feel there is a resistance because of a "purity" of design. However it's a bit silly that we need to reinvent everything because we have a thing for simplicity. For instance I'm doing a workshop with children and I'd have liked to use "aseprite", a pixel art design program that has everything I need and a simple interface. Paint activity isn't quite apt for the job. So I guess I can contribute to define what I mean: 1. Support <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html#install_icons">Freedesktop.Org Icon specification</a> and <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html#guidelines">icon naming conventions</a> for non-sugar applications, instead of the grey dot in the Frame. 2. Support <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-1.0.html">Freedesktop.Org Desktop Entry specification</a> for launching non-sugar applications. Proposal: use ~/.sugar/launchers/ for .desktop files. These would appear in the Home View, much like Activities do. I know we are in Feature Freeze but I only want to propose and discuss the merits of the feature, so maybe I or others can invest the time required to achieve this for the next release. Regards, Sebastian PS: Extra points for sugarizing aseprite, it's really cool: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.aseprite.org/">http://www.aseprite.org/</a> . Hints and pointers on where to begin are also welcome. </body> </html>
