Late UI change in gnome-weather



Dear release-team and doc team,

I just wanted to inform you that I plan to push the changes at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703150 to gnome-weather for 3.18.

What the changes do is to replace all the backgrounds used by gnome-weather with new ones, that have a better (more permissive) license and have better readability for the overlaid text. The change was originally requested by Debian, as they cannot package gnome-weather in the current form because some of the current backgrounds are not DFSG-compliant.

As such, there should be no user impact, other than old screenshots and documentation materials will need to be updated. Screenshots used in AppStream are part of the git repository and I will update them. I don't recall any other documentation for gnome-weather, and I don't foresee it being featured in the release notes. Therefore I don't think there is any risk from this change, but comments are welcome. If there is no objection, the changes will appear in 3.17.92 next week.

Thanks,

Giovanni
