The way it works in Fedora is that the branding team tells me the settings values it want to use, and I use those values for the settings defaults.

I think the same makes sense here, because while I've seen some mockups for the RHEL wallpaper, branding is in a better position to pick the right file/size/border.

I think so, yes.

Yes, it needs to be enabled, but I will add that the composes were adjusted and this extension will be installed together with GNOME group.

I've experimented with how to present the logo today. So far the best I can come up with is:

 * Use fedora_logo_darkbackground.svg for the logo
 * Offset it from the top left corner by 5% of the display width
 * Set its width to 16% of the display width (maintaining its aspect ratio)

This works pretty well at standard aspect ratios. Where it doesn't work so well is non-standard aspect ratios, like ultrawide and portrait. For that we might need to explore specifying the position and size according to the screen area.

What's the full path?

The current setting is in pixels. If we want a screen-relative value, then that needs development and testing we don't have time for.


>  * Set its width to 16% of the display width (maintaining its aspect ratio)

Current maximum is 15, is that ok as well? Or should I bump the maximum to - say - 20 and use 16 as default?

/usr/share/redhat-logos/fedora_logo_darkbackground.svg and it's shipped in redhat-logos package

Do I need to add a "Requires"?

I opened https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/gnome-shell-extension-background-logo/-/merge_requests/4 with what we have so far.

Looking at it closely you should actually require the system-logos so whatever we do works on CentOS Stream as well (through their centos-logos package that provides the system-logos as well).

Done, although unless the logo path matches the rhel one, it won't work on centos.

It does, so it should work.

Hi Florian,
I've prepared a release note for this change. See the Doc Text field.

Since the logo only appears on the default wallpaper, I was at first hesitant whether to even include this in the release notes, because from the user perspective it's effectively just a change in the wallpaper style. However, the fact that you can disable or re-enable the logo is probably something that's worth documenting, so I've added that information.

Do we recommend any particular way to disable an extension, such as the Extensions application, or uninstalling the RPM package?

Not as far as I'm aware. Either the app, `gnome-extensions disable ...`, a dconf preset for `disabled-extensions` in `/org/gnome/shell` or uninstalling the package is fine and supported.

Okay, then it's probably fine to leave it general as is. Thanks, Florian!
