What a Long Strange Trip It's Been

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

For all you Deadhead, PLT Scheme, OLPC XO users, here's a custom "Home" display:

XO custom icon

It's easy to change the default image on the XO:

  1. Create/copy an SVG image (I grabbed Brad's SVG version of Matthew Flatt's image) and save it as computer-xo.svg
  2. Save a backup copy of the default XO image and copy yours over the default one:
    su -l
    cp /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/computer-xo.svg /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/computer-xo.svg.bak
    cp /path/to/your/computer-xo.svg /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/computer-xo.svg
  3. Restart Sugar with Ctrl-Alt-erase
That's all there is to it! If you want to actually install and run PLT Scheme on the XO, then you can either yum install it (which will currently get you version 371 of DrScheme) or follow Grant Rettke's instructions for building/installing the latest version of DrScheme on the XO.
