Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-games

The background for Gnometris is a pretty graphic of the Gnome foot. Most Gnome branding has been removed from Ubuntu and replaced with an Ubuntu logo, yet the Gnometris foot remains. Unfortunately, the royal blue contrasts with the default Ubuntu theme pretty sharply.

We should replace this with a nice Ubuntu logo.

I've created a new Gnometris background using the Ubuntu logo, and attached it here.
To install, simply replace the existing gnometris/gnometris.svg file in the gnome-games package.

I'm not sure we should brand the dialog that create issue for derivative distributions

The dialog is already branded though - with a Gnome brand.

the GNOME brand is not an issue for derivative distributions since they use GNOME anyway, the ubuntu branding is one though

Excuse me, but we put Ubuntu branding all over the default packages. There's even an Ubuntu icon in the applications menu. We expect derivative distributions to change these things too - why is this any different?

Could you described all those branded component? The panel is using the distributor logo which can be customized easily in the icon theme, otherwise you should have no ubuntu logos used. The themes can be changed easily by derivates and don't really count there

Would the proper fix here be to make gnometris use a graphic from the system theme (if there is one) and then default to the gnome foot if none is found? That way we can have an Ubuntu logo in Ubuntu and not have to worry about derivatives.

I am reopening this bug because I am working on a separate branding-ubuntu package that contains the branded image above (and, in the future, other examples of branding).

What's needed in gnometris is simple probing for the existence of the branded artwork and then falling back to the existing artwork. In this case. the branding will be at: /usr/share/branding/gnome-games/gnometris/pixmaps/gnometris.svg

Just a note that a similar probing is already done in a user specific location. The background can be changed by dragging an image onto the game. This copies the image to ~/.local/share/gnometris/background.bin. This image is used as background if it exists, otherwise it will fall back to the default image.

I understand that this may not be what you are looking for exactly but at least similar code is already there for this kind of thing. Look at http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-games/tree/gnometris/tetris.cpp#n145 to see the actual code.
