it uses the old start-here icon, rather than a shadowman.

Created attachment 139135 [details] Shadowman Start icons for RHEL...sizes include 16, 24, 32, 48, 96.
dfong/mclasen: I believe older releases, e.g. RHEL4, uses a more cartoony hat as shown here (picture randomly found on the Internet but ya'll probably remember) http://www.atmarkit.co.jp/flinux/prodreview/rhel4/g03.jpg Are you sure we want to use the more flat Shadowman icon for RHEL5?
david, fyi: the panel is using the icon named "start-here" for the menu now (which is why the old icon resurfaced)
mclasen: so, why not simply fix the panel to use the an icon from redhat-logos instead of, uhm, replacing the start-here icon with a Shadowman? Cuz, really, I'm not how much sense it makes to make the icon named "start-here" a Shadowman, in a way you're breaking at least some sort of ABI etc. etc. FYI redhat-logos contains /usr/share/firstboot/pixmaps/shadowman-round-48.png /usr/share/pixmaps/redhat/shadowman-200.png /usr/share/pixmaps/redhat/shadowman-32.png /usr/share/pixmaps/redhat/shadowman-48.png /usr/share/pixmaps/redhat/shadowman-64.png /usr/share/pixmaps/redhat/shadowman-mini.png /usr/share/pixmaps/redhat/shadowman-round-48.png /usr/share/pixmaps/redhat/shadowman-transparent.png which looks similar to the icons that Diana did though the red is somewhat more vivid in her icons.
I'm fine with fixing this in the panel. The new icons are uptodate wrt to the brand guidelines. Please replace the outdated existing ones.
OK, reassigning this to redhat-logos and fixing up Summary to reflect that shadowman icons in redhat-logos needs an update. New shadowman icons are available in comment 2. mclasen: Please open a new bug for the panel fix.
Taking ownership of this bug (since johnp is no longer with us).
Created attachment 139244 [details] shadowman icons that needs update dfong: We need updated icons for the ones in the attached archive file These are shadowman-200.png shadowman-64.png shadowman-round-48.png shadowman-32.png shadowman-64.xpm shadowman-round-48.xpm shadowman-32.xpm shadowman-mini.png shadowman-round-mini.xpm shadowman-48.png shadowman-mini.xpm shadowman-transparent.png shadowman-48.xpm shadowman-round-32.xpm Thanks.
dfong: in addition we also need shadowman-16.png shadowman-20.png shadowman-22.png shadowman-36.png shadowman-96.png as redhat-artwork will symlink into these to provided themed icons for the gnome panel menu. Thanks. David.
Actually as dfong pointed out this morning the existing shadowman (shadownman-<size>.[png|xpm]]) are not transparent so they are not usable. So the plan of attack is 1. Fixup existing icons in redhat-logos 2. Provide new icons shadowman-transparent-<size>.png where size=16, 20, 22, 32, 36, 48, 64, 96 then we get redhat-artwork to symlink into the shadowman-transparent-<size.png icons.
(further, we don't want to make the existing shadownman-<size>.[png|xpm] icons transparent as that could break existing stuff)
Sounds good to me; although we should still update the existing non-transparent shadowmen to the current approved version
re comment 13, yea, that's what I meant with bullet 1. in comment 11

I verified these packages on Zack's x86 RHEL5 box and they looked good
What version of redhat-* is this fixed in? And which shadowman should be on the panel menu?
Zack, see comment 9, comment 10 and comment 17. Thanks.
Oh, now I see the package versions. Thanks. But the PNGs mentioned in comment 10 are not present in either redhat-logos or redhat-artwork. Is this a problem? Either way, the shadowman I'm seeing on the panel is round with a white face, and a transparent border. Sound right?
Sounds right. Mmm... perhaps rpmdiff can tell the files that changed? /me can't seem to recall them at this point, sorry.
Well, redhat-artwork isn't symlinking to any shadoman-* files. Does this mean we don't need the files in comment 10?
Mmmm.. I can't remember the specifics, sorry.
A package has been built which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you.
