How to add new cursors in OOo4Kids (Windows, Linux,Mac OS X)
Added a new entry in
the OOo4Kids wiki:
How to add a new cursor in OOo4Kids (basically the same as adding one in
OpenOffice.org of course ;-)
Everything comes from notes I took during the implementation, and the translation in other locales will follow soon.
Any help and contribution is welcome : feel free to add information, and help us to improve ! """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Be able to see any Image in Writer, as a slideshow ... (idea of 21st april)
Just a wild idea (don't know whether this is realistic or not), but after I watched Google Chrome video, I was thinking to myself : what about be able to see any image as a slideshow ?
(Sort of) scenario :
Imagine you are reading a Writer /Draw or whatever document, and in this document, a nice image.
-> click one dedicated shortcut : et hop ! the image appears in fullscreen, including possible annotations
-> move the mouse : a front like menu appears, and you can stop, or display the next image found in the document, maybe do more ..
Ok, was just an idea ... back to the real work :-)

Preparing OOo4Kids 0.9.5
ENGLISH version(FRENCH below) :
After some times debugging, I found what was not working, and now we have a new feature in Impress, in annotations mode:
- in eraser mode, or when you change the eraser size, the cursor is an eraser
- in pen mode, the cursor is a pen
- when changing the color, the cursor is an arrow
Verified on Linux and Mac OS X (remains Windows, never like the other ...)
This work is a follow up of the big project we have with
Ecole Centrale Nantes, more precisely : improve Impress adding a canvas in overlay.
Other changes for 0.9.5 :
- added
Arabic (yet some missing strings, and needs more attention, due to RTL behavior, and a second translator needed)
- added
Norwegian (Bokmal)- added
Traditional Chinese - added some important fixes from the coming OOO_321
Todo before to release 0.9.5 :
- verify the cursor is ok on Windows too (check the hotspot e.g.)
- cleanup in menus, toolbars (removing useless entrie)
- cleanup in prefs (remove tabs)
- change version number for 0.9.5 and create the new .DS_Store on Mac OS X
This is the last step before 1.0beta :)FRENCH version :
Apres quelques temps passes a debuguer Impress, j'ai trouve ce qui ne marchait pas et maintenant nous avons une nouvelle fonctionnalité dans Impress, en mode annotations :
- en mode "gomme", ou lorsqu'on change la taille de la gomme, le curseur devient une gomme
- en mode stylo, le curseur est un stylo
- lorsqu'on change la couleur du stylo, le curseur est une fleche (plus grosse sous Mac OS X)
Fonctionnement verifie sous Linux et Mac OS X (reste Windows, ou rien n'est comme ailleurs ...)
Ce travail est la suite du grand projet que nous avons avec l'
Ecole Centrale Nantes, en particulier, ameliorer Impress avec un canvas en overlay, en mode presentation.
Autres changements pour la future version 0.9.5 :
- ajoute l'
Arabe (encore quelques chaines manquantes, demande de l'attention, a cause de la prise en charge de droite a gauche de l'ecriture, et du fait qu'il manque un second traducteur)
- ajoute le
Norvegien (Bokmal)- ajoute le
Chinois Traditionnel - ajoute quelques correctifs importants de la version 3.2.1 a venir
A faire avant la release 0.9.5 :
- verifier que le curseur est ok sous Windows (verifier le hotspot par exemple)
- continuer a nettoyer les menus, et barres d'outils (en otant les entrees inutiles)
- nettoyage dans les preferences (supprimer d'autres onglets)
- modifier le numero de version pour 0.9.5 et creer le nouveau .DS_Store sous Mac OS X
C'est la derniere etape avant la version 1.0beta !!Libellés : Education Project, EducOOo, hacks, High Tech, OOo4Kids, OpenOffice, Teaching OpenSource
