Is the "reduced" size of the painting palette in the OLPC etoys, i.e. it takes up only a portion of the OLPC window, the expected size? Or does it have to do with my OS, or display resolution (didn't seem to), or something else? It seems unusually constraining. If you need a visual, I uploaded a window capture to:

Let me reply to my own post (and apologize if people that replied got a 'mailbox full' type message :). I think, after playing with this a bit, that I "get it" and actually like it this way. It forces a user to keep their sketches on the smaller-to-medium size, which is a good thing.

Hi Randy --
You can set a preference to paint full screen. This has always been there, it's just that we set limited paint area option for the OLPC release.
Cheers,
Alan
