Hi all,
this is not a new problem, but still unresolved. When I open an etoys
project with the XO image that has been developed with an older etoys
version, the green navigation bar on the top of the project will most
likely hide parts of my project. That is highly annoying, especially
for first time users of etoys, who are browsing through existing
projects on a website. There are so many wonderful projects out there!
We will show more of them on the squeakland website, but we want an
exciting experience for the users. So I would ask you what we could do
to solve this problem. Maybe, when an older project is detected, the
green navigation bar will disappear and the orange flap on the bottom
will be shown? The would not have a consisting look of the projects, but
that is due to the different versions, we could communicate that, but at
least the projects could be used. To just move the world down 100 pixels
would bring problems with scripts using fixed values for the y-axis, but
maybe there is another solution? What do you think? I hope for your
suggestions so that we can populate the squeakland site with lots of
great projects!
Best Regards,
Rita
