I just discovered the really neat feature of Add to Home screen while visiting this forum on my Firefox mobile browser. It gives me a really nice shortcut directly to this forum, full screen and responsive. It really does almost behave like a native app.
Looking at the icon section of the manifest there are 2 icons listed, both pointing to the same CDN location. I find it ironic that the path has “optimized” in the name, since it is anything but optimized . I understand it is referencing a different kind of optimize, but it is still amusing.
It seems probable that these are simply cropped out of the “branding” or main logo that I presume is configured somewhere in the site admin settings. Hopefully Discourse has an option to specify a specific icon for use in this manifest so that we can have something a little nicer on home screens around the world. Presumably the Fedora Infinity logo variant would be nicer in this context.
We actually finally have logo news coming up soon (ssssh, don’t tell anyone yet) and I think it probably makes the most sense at this point to make a Design Team request for proper new logos for all of these once that’s clear.
+1 for saving the Design Team from unnecessary work. But I wonder, do we have a PNG already from the fedora-logos repo that could be a band-aid fix for people like @troycurtisjr? I have (some of) them locally, but I want to make sure I do the trademark stuff right.
OK. So, I went ahead and updated the large_icon and let it trickle down into all of the other icons that inherit from large_icon. I used the social media bubble that @duffy created for the Telegram groups, so it should be in line with trademark guidelines.
