Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 173468
New favicon for websites
Last modified: 2014-01-21 17:53:01 EST
I've generated a favicon from the new Fedora logo, which I've attached. It was generated by http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/ from /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/32x32/apps/gnome-logo-icon-transparent.png found in fedora-logos-1.1.34-1.
Created attachment 121177 [details] New favicon for websites
Added to fedora.redhat.com. Assigning to web team and CC-ing Seth Vidal for fedoraproject.org
.ico file is replaced.
http://planet.fedoraproject.org/ still has the old favicon. I dumped cache and get the favicon in other places.
fixed.
Shouldn't the new favicon have transparent background? The white square around the logo looks quite ugly and unprofessional. (BTW, it's not visible in addressbar which has white background itself but you can see it on tab if you have multiple tabs open (and they have gray background, default in Firefox)).
FWIW, I agree that transparent would look much better.
If you look in the zip file you'll notice that transparent.ico is the same with a transparent background.
all fixed up.
What's going on? 'all fixed up', 'NOTABUG' and the fact that the favicon on the websites hasn't changed doesn't make sense. transparent.ico indeed has transparent background so you can use it on the websites if you want to, or fine-tune its contours if you don't like it. Please see attached screenshot of two firefox tabs if you don't believe.
Created attachment 121280 [details] two firefox tabs the first one is with the original icon, the second one uses icon with transparent background
I closed it b/c the fedoraproject.org ico has been fixed. I can't edit fedora.redhat.com that I know of and really don't want to. :)
Okay, thanks Seth. I can see it there now. The rest is likely a task for Fedora Webmaster (Patrick).
I'm on vacation ATM. As soon as I either get my laptop online or get home, I'll fix fedora.redhat.com. :-)
Sorry, missed that I could take this one easily. It's committed, tagged, bagged, and should be live within the hour.
FWIW, we currently have two sets of sysadmins for the two formal Fedora sites. We can cross check work, and close bugs when everything is working. *sigh* Yeah, that's another reason to use the all-one domain.
doesn't need to be that way - dfong, caillon and hrishi all have write access to the fedoraproject.org pages directly. They can replace the favicon, too.
