Show Totem new logo as default screen when Totem is launched without opening media

[Pēteris Krišjānis]

1. Choose Applications => Multimedia => Totem
2. Totem shows up with old logo theme in application's screen

Totem Mozilla plugin uses new logo theme as background when not launched (t.i. waiting for press to play), which looks much nicer and up to date. So it would be very good to use it also for standard Totem.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Which version of Ubuntu are you running? I get the new logo of totem here with Gutsy. Can you make a screenshot and attach it to the report?. thanks.

I am running Ubuntu Gutsy, 10th september daily. I will attach two screenshots to explain myself. First is Totem itself, using old logo. Second is Totem plugin for Mozilla, which uses new logo. I am suggesting to use new logo also in Totem itself, not only in Totem plugin for Mozilla.

[Pēteris Krišjānis (pecisk-gmail)]

This is Totem plugin for Mozilla with new logo.

Hmm, i'm using the default theme for karmic, and the displayed image is realy ugly now... I guess the icon for totem is a 32x32 one, and it is scaled fullscreen making it look damn ugly...

I've attached a screenshot to make this clear...

[Pēteris Krišjānis (pecisk-gmail)]

Well, it is not ugly, but it lacks details which GNOME's default totem icon provides, that's why it gives a little wtf moment for everyone who seen it there. Would it be a little more detailed - would fit nicely.

Anyway, I don't think it's bad looking to bother about it.
