Sugar: The Cooler Desktop
Most of you, Linux users have always been limited to the two big desktop names in Linux. GNOME and KDE today represent the Linux desktop. But there exist other desktop environment along with these two; XFCE, LDE etc. All these desktop enviroment was made with a normal desktop or laptop in mind but one desktop was made with small screen and children in mind.
Yes, the Sugar; the XO’s desktop.
Let’s start with the Main Desktop area, which i would love to call the F3 Desktop. It list all the activity (programs in XO) in an circular fashion by default. From here can access the Sugar Activities. As I am using it in my laptop not an XO, i cannot access my personal apps like Firefox, Pidgin from the activity. There are two ways of doing so as far as i know; one just open terminal activity and starts the programs another make activity yourself. Last one is of course time consuming so I went for the first one. Just open as many programs I would generally start during my normal desktop startup from the terminal acivity. The only differences in the applications was the menu and text boxes depending on the program(BTW: Sugar is also based on GTK.
