Description

Since many adblocking systems do not load images with "banner" or "adv" text in the filename, it doesnt load.

Well, that is at least an incentive to use your own friggin' logo ;-)

In fact, I've been thinking that we should just remove the logo from the default installation. Way too many projects are carelessly not replacing it with their own.

Well, renaming it as "project-logo" or something wouldn't be so hard.

Also, maybe you don't need to remove it completely. Maybe make an image like the attachement..

Obviously i only spent 2 minutes making that, so it would need to be refined :]

(I agree that way too much TRACs on this planet look like default TRACs. But that is only an opinion...)

How about shipping a set of ugly banners and ugly css-files which show http://trac.edgewall.com/trac/pick1ofthese/ all over the screen and running a trac skin contest before? Edgewall could take the winning skin in exchange for the first price as a new CI, stuff it with ads and leave it closed sourced & trade marked for own use, then ship the default trac package with the "old" skin or the uglifiedy skin mentioned above.

And PLEASE use other, unobtrusive names for #banner <div/> and title image! (see http://groups.google.com/group/trac-users/tree/browse_frm/thread/9c257a607fd7931d/e56ac169f6f5eac7?rnum=1&q=header+rendering&_done=%2Fgroup%2Ftrac-users%2Fbrowse_frm%2Fthread%2F9c257a607fd7931d%2Fe56ac169f6f5eac7%3Ftvc%3D1%26q%3Dheader+rendering%26#doc_885d2b5905b4060f)

There seems to be an issue with adblock plus and <div/> #content, too: (see http://lacucaracha.org/trac/trac_menu_messed_up_under_firefox_with_adblock.jpg)

  • keywords setuptools packagedata added
  • priority changed from high to normal
  • milestone set to 1.0

There's definitely room for improvement here, but probably not in the immediate future ;)

I like the idea of the attachment:project-logo.png, but that will have to be adapted to the setuptools changes.

There is a new ticket (#6185) that has in many ways continued the themeing part of this ticket.

That leaves the original issue of default logo rename - or no logo at all as cmlenz suggests (themeing related). Renaming the banner sure would encourage a lot of sites to figure out how to get their own logo working... Could this ticket somehow be closed and discussions moved to new ticket?
