[Bug 1081691] Re: Launcher - Update the icons used for the Software Centre, Nautilus, and Software Updater

[Sebastien Bacher]

Could whoever came with the X-Unity-IconBackgroundColor idea give
details on:

- where it was discussed

- why is it needed (is the current algorythm not good enough, can we fix
that)?

- what number of .desktop you envision to see patched this way?


Did you consider that hardcoding a color probably works with a specific icon, what if somebody changes the icon theme from the default one? That would probably make the color wrong...

** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Launcher - Update the icons used for the Software Centre, Nautilus,
  and Software Updater

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Committed
Status in Unity:
  Won't Fix
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ubuntu-mono” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Update the icons used for the Software Centre, Nautilus, and Software
  Updater to the new icons supplied in the attached file
  "Nautilus_USC_Updater_new_icons.zip".

  When any of these three applications are running, the Launcher tiles they are mounted on should be illuminated in the following colours:
  Nautilus: #af4853
  Software center: #ffbf87
  Software updater: #4c9e39

  (Note this functionality was added to the Launcher in Unity 6.0 as a
  result of bug #962120)

  So, packages shipping Nautilus, Software Center and Software updater
  should define in their .desktop file the proper X-Unity-
  IconBackgroundColor field with the mentioned colors.

  This change is part of a larger set of Launcher icon changes, see
