How about using transparent background color of trac logo?

[Shun-ichi Goto <shunichi.goto@…>]

I think it is a popular and easy customization to change background color of the page with site_css.cs. So I feel better if the logo has transparent background.

Example of header logo: [[Image(transparent-header-logo.png)]]
Example of footer logo: [[Image(transparent-footer-logo.png)]]

Ouch, sorry for macro error in description and I cannot fix it. It is because I cannot attach example image by exception bellow:

Yes, the problem above is due to #4087… someone should really address it, one of these days.

Well, I think a new logo (transparent why not) would be useful, especially if it would be distinctive from the logo of Edgewall's Trac (i.e. this Trac instance), so that people would not easily confuse their Trac with this one, as it's not unusual to get some tickets filed here that were clearly intended for another Trac…

We could start a logo contest, but I'm afraid this will have to wait until #4087 gets fixed ;-)

#4087 Seems fixed, where are the transparent logos? I think I need them too. thank you.

header logo (banner) with transparent background color

[Shun-ichi Goto <shunichi.goto@…>]

footer logo (logo_min) with transparent background color

[Shun-ichi Goto <shunichi.goto@…>]

I've attached two files. They are absolutely examples because I don't know that a white background should be a part of the design or not.

Let's get a transparent logo for 0.12. Note that new environments by default now don't use the Trac's header logo, but it's still shipped and can be used as a basis to compose new logos - having it transparent serves better this purpose as well.

Finally integrated in r8089, thanks!
