Forum Favicon

[superbnerd]

I noticed you changed the favicon from the default vbulliten one to the red hat. Wouldn't it make more sense to use a purple or blue hat. The same should be applied to fedora's Main Menu logo. I have seen the hat come in several colors, and fedora has distanced itself from redhat enough to use its own logo. There have been a few emails (http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-February/msg01588.html) discussing changing the "red" hat to a purple or blue one to mach fedora's color scheme. What does the community think about it?

We had a thread in the Staff forum appear about this a couple of days ago. It appears Ewdi had too much time on his hands, and knocked up a favicon (bless him). The colour was mentioned by someone, but as I said in that thread i don't think its the most pressing matter in the world.

I'd recommend pinging Ewdi if the colour affects you that much :p.

Agree.
I'm for a blue-hat Fedora logo :)

And Ug... It was me who mentioned the blue colored hat :p

[imdeemvp]

Then it will be call BlueHat Linux. :D

[superbnerd]

Then it will be call BlueHat Linux. :D No, becuase fedora is soon to become its own distro. Didn't you notice they changed all the system tools from redhat-config-* to system-config-*.

Another thing that bugs me is the name of the directory that holds all of the built rpms /usr/src/redhat Thats got to chage in the near future. I also noticed that in the binaries (anything compiled), if you open them with a test editor, you will find "redhat" in them. Fedora may be their sponsored test bed, but the community is quickly growing beyond them.

superbnerd I fear you overlook the fact that Fedora isn't going anywhere outside of Red Hat any time soon. You are correct to say that it is its own "distro" but at the same time all of the members of its "Steering Committee" are Red Hat employees.

Anyway, back on topic folks.

Does that mean you won't be living in penguin land anymore?

EDIT: Also, I'm not even seeing a hat favicon at all, it's still the same old blue V inside a yellow box for me on Firefox. I tried doing a forced refresh of the site holding shift while i reloaded the page, but it just opened the site in a new window. Is a forced refresh different in linux than in Win?

[ewdi]

i should be displaying since we dont have it anymore (the old one) try to clear your cache.

Yes i'll be moving out the penguin land into the sushi land :p

[Bradlis7]

Yay, fedoraforum has a blue icon now. I wonder if they got that from my screenshot ;) .....?

[Ug]

I doubt it ;)

[superbnerd]

One down. Now for the Main Menu icon ;) They should let you choose between several colors, but a blue one will do.

now you're pushing it....i like the redhat icon ;) and about the live cd its awesome! does it have a name yet? you know like mandrake's move.

[sayeeth]

Well how about Fedora Stay? :p

[Ug]

On topic please folks.

[Chas.H]

On topic please folks.

And now...
Back to the topic.

It seems totally illogical to me, but when I access the fourm at work, on my Win 2000 box, I get a completely different favIcon. I looks like a square root symbol as far as my deflicted colour blind eyes can tell. Is there an javascript: if statement looking at the OS and giving a different icon?

[gablaxian]

i was getting that favicon for a while after it changed too, until i cleared the cache of my browser.

[Chas.H]

That's odd.
Using Firefox 0.10.1, I cleared cashe and removed the bookmark. Then I went back in to the forums. Still see that icon what looks like a square root symbol.
Very Interesting! (he said from behind the bushes)

[ewdi]

now you're pushing it....i like the redhat icon ;) and about the live cd its awesome! does it have a name yet? you know like mandrake's move.

Dont have a name yet, probably fedora live project?
