 Looking at the mockups at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Frame , I
 wondered if the icons for Journal and external devices could be color-
 filled acording to how full they are.[[BR]]
 It would give an upfront view at how much space they have in their devices
 as time goes by, and make it less of a surprise when they are warned that
 they are almost full.


 The downside will be for 1st time users of Sugar, who may not totally
 grasp why is it that their Journal icon is not totally colored, but after
 seeing how the battery and network icons work the same, they would see the
 parallel for the Journal and external storage devices. Plus, it isn't that
 important to have these icons be fully colored, as they will always be
 using the kids own colors, so there isn't a loss of information by making
 the fill color be dynamic.
