GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 687306
aisleriot should install a highcontrast app icon
Last modified: 2013-03-12 18:10:33 UTC
We are aiming to have an highcontrast app icon for all apps in 3.8. See https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/HighContrastAppIcons
An HC icon is a good start, but we should also have a HC card theme and matching baize (background).
Actually, gnome-themes-standard already has a HighContrast icon but it is named aisleriot.png. So either aisleriot needs to change its icon name or gnome-themes-standard needs to change.
App icons should be shipped with the app, not in g-t-s, IMHO. Also, beyond just being plain ugly, the 'aisleriot' icon in g-t-s/HighContrast has no licence info attached to it, nor is there any source code for the png that's obviously rendered from svg. For aisleriot to ship an icon, it has to have source and be GPL3+ licensed.
Created attachment 229727 [details] aisleriot icon SVG I would prefer apps shipping the HC icons themselves indeed. Attached is the source SVG used to render the icon in gnome-themes-standard. Barbara Muraus and Lapo Calamandrei are the authors of said icons. While g-t-s is GPL2.1 I'm sure they will be fine with relicensing it under the terms Aisleriot needs.

Where does this SVG come from, and what is its licence? It seems to use som CC stuff, but doesn't declare which one exactly, and for aisleriot to use and ship the icon, it needs to be GPL3+. + <rdf:RDF> + <cc:Work rdf:about=''> + <dc:format>image/svg+xml</dc:format> + <dc:type rdf:resource='http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/StillImage'/> + <dc:title>Gnome Symbolic Icon Theme</dc:title> + </cc:Work>
So this comes from g-t-s which is LGPL2.1 (+?). So we can relicence to GPL3+ without problems. Please remove the <cc> tags from the source, and commit. Thanks!
It's ok to commit the patch proposed by Matthias? If so, please commit it to try to close this Goal before 3.8 release. Thanks!
Pushed to master.
