Feature changed by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #306635, revision 7 Title: Gnome main menu should have openSUSE logo, not generic computer - openSUSE-11.2: Candidate + openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Vincent Untz (vuntz) + reject reason: It's a question of "branding vs usability". The computer + icon tells people that they can do something with the computer by + clicking there. The openSUSE logo wouldn't help the user in any way.

Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Drew Kwashnak (dragonbite) Description: The Gnome version of openSUSE should have the openSUSE logo either squared (like the head used in KDE) or a horizontile button instead of the generic computer icon. As unimportant as it seems, that is a marketing aspect that should not be overlooked. Discussion: #1: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-07-29 10:51:00) in absense of a fate markup for it, I would say we go into implementation as long as there is no problem with it - I _guess_ this is a clear community task but I don't know of any possible volunteer. If none is to be found, we have to reject it later in the process. #2: M. S. (funkym) (2009-08-25 10:49:49) I checked the code and a simple change is actually trivial. The .glade file contains the button used on the panel with hardcoded icon name "gnome-fs-client". The icons for different orientations must get a name so their widgets can be retrieved using glade within create_panel_button(), and the icon name read from gconf could be assigned. This would allow to basically assign any icon using gconf to the menu button. It would not be bad if openSUSE had their brand icons in the standard icon sizes available in the distro. So if apps need to use the logo, they can request icon name "suse" to get the green circled logo which currently appears for "gdm-suse".
