Hello list, during the last days I've been playing around a little bit with Mallard and how to put some color into our user help. Attached to this email you find the result applied to three different help: GNOME Tetravex, gbrainy and Empathy. Basically, I've added the application logo to the title in the index.page like this: <title> <media type="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/empathy-logo.png">Empathy Instant Messenger logo </media> Empathy Instant Messenger </title> You also need to add a title-link inside the info section of the page, in order for the link to that page to not show the image (otherwise they will look pretty ugly): <info> <title type="link">Empathy Instant Messenger</title> </info> There is a small (fixable) problem though: when you use the alt text in the image inside the title, that alt text will be shown in the window title bar. So, you will have something like: Empathy Instant Messenger logo Empathy Instant Messenger We can ditch the alt text, but that's there for a11y reasons, and in my opinion it needs to stay there. I would like to kick-start a discussion about this "feature" that we can add to our help, and would like to propose it for all the new help that will be written. For me, it gives a little bit of color to the application help, and provides also a visual hint to users of the application logo when browsing the menus. What do you think? Ciao. -- Milo Casagrande <miloc gnome org>
