Yes, the versions of the extension I saw only showed the logo on the default
wallpaper.
OK, a lot of quick action on this, on the part of several people
yesterday and this morning. Here's what we discovered:
Package bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161637
Upstream git:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/background-logo-extension.git/
(1) The SRPM in the bug appears to be *newer* than git (includes
e.g. prefs.js, control utility). Maybe something wasn't pushed?
However, the SRPM seems like it should work.
(2) We need to package a wordmark, since that works visually better
than the Fedora infinity-bubble logomark. Also, from the mockups, an
< 100% opacity was desirable. Ryan has sent that on to Spot to add to
fedora-logos.
(3) The package needs a .gschema.override file to point to the new
logo. That seems like the right thing to do for a distro-specific
change like this. I wasn't able to find fmuellner on line yesterday
or this morning, so given the freeze, Stephen Gallagher was planning
to help us with packaging since he's a provenpackager. I pasted this:
http://fpaste.org/151778/16319651/
If anyone has concerns or suggestions, please add them ASAP... the
freeze is on today, so we may end up needing a QA exception to get
this stuff done.
