[Pnakox1]

I think this looks better than not colored version.

@quozl sounds good to me! should I work on this?

[walterbender]

Sure. But please be sure to use Sugar colors as opposed to the colors shown in the example above.

You can find the Sugar colours in the toolkit, src/sugar3/graphics/xocolor.py.

Please go on.. you don't need permission

[deepak2431]

@samswag Hi, Can I work on this issue if it's still opened? Thanks!

[quozl]

You can work on any issue. Please don't ask. See Contributing which says there is no need to ask permission to work on an issue.

The issue is still open. You can prove that by looking for coloured activity icons on the web site. Please always test on your own if an issue continues to occur.

Be sure to integrate all the guidance so far on this issue, especially from @walterbender and myself. Also read my response in https://github.com/sugarlabs/www-sugarlabs/pull/213 to @kushmisra's first try.

Hi, Look at the colors of activities icons designed by me.

[quozl]

These are not the Sugar colours.

[S-kus]

@quozl Can I work on the issue? I will change the color of each icon with the help of their website's home page icon color.

[quozl]

@S-kus, given the context of the issue, I don't understand your question. Please make sure you read all the other responses I've made in this issue. Scroll up. If you have any questions after that, please try again.

@quozl I recreated the Base64 image with colors which are following, (I got these sugar colors from their referred link).

But I am not able to find the colored icon of "Finance", "Journal Share" and "StarChart".

[S-kus]

These are some Referred links (screenshot of activities are present at these links in which icon color is visible, So with the help of color picker I change the colors of the icon)- Numbers -https://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4336 Finance- https://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4040 Maze Web- https://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4727 Measure- https://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4197 Turtle Block3D- http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/TurtleBlocks3D Words- https://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4315 Ruler -https://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4192 Star Chart- https://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4300 Recall- http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Recall Journal Share- https://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4656 Turtle Typing- https://help.sugarlabs.org/en/typing_turtle.html Turtle In a Pond- https://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4516

Sorry, but I don't think you know what you are doing. Have you used Sugar yet? It is a multi-user classroom collaboration system using apps we call activities. In the current release of Sugar, the icons for activities are initially uncoloured, and then acquire the colour of the user that created the corresponding journal entry after they are run. The Sugar user colours are set from those available by the user. So an icon shown for an activity can have any of two colours from the palette available (in the Python code referenced), depending on who last used it. Colour is used to indicate ownership of saved data.

[S-kus]

Okay @quozl, Thanks I got it.

[quozl]

Remember, this was another drive-by issue. Have you found the list of colours in the Sugar Toolkit source code yet?

[S-kus]

Yes, I found the code here. Could you please explain a bit more what exactly is required to do in this issue?

[chimosky]

@S-kus, you can find the Sugar Toolkit source code here.

Could you please explain a bit more what exactly is required to do in this issue?

If you looked at the sugarlabs website, you'd see some activity icons and they're all in black and white so the issue suggests changing those to coloured icons and it was established that using sugar colours is the best way to do that. The xocolor module shows you what colours are supported and defines a class that'll help you create a supported colour instance.

Hope that helps!

@chimosky according to https://github.com/sugarlabs/www-sugarlabs/issues/174#issuecomment-1003554402 reply, are icons will still be with some particular colors? If yes, there are many pairs of colors in xocolor.py! which one exactly should I use? Could you please explain it?

[chimosky]

@chimosky according to #174 (comment) reply, are icons will still be with some particular colors? If yes, there are many pairs of colors in xocolor.py! which one exactly should I use? Could you please explain it?

Usually the icons change colours after it's being used and these colours are determined by the user profile colours, you can checkout sugar3.profile and a search of some of the methods in sugar3.profile shows you their usage.

[S-kus]

Thanks @chimosky. I will look into this.

[chimosky]

Thanks @chimosky. I will look into this.

Glad I could help.
