Description Ben Kohler 2005-04-21 10:44:03 UTC
Emerging mozilla-firefox gives you a firefox with a generic-looking blue globe icon in the taskbar and in the "about" dialog.  However, emerging mozilla-firefox-bin gives you a firefox with the familiar orange/blue firefox icon that we all know and love.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  run "emerge mozilla-firefox"
2.  run "firefox"

Actual Results:  
The icon in the taskbar of xfce/gnome/kde/etc is a blue one rather than the
orange/blue logo.  It is also a big blue globe in the "about" dialog rather than
a big pretty firefox logo.

Expected Results:  
The normal firefox icon should show whether you build from source or use the binary.

ebuild with artwork useflag to use the firefox artwork

This adds a useflag of "artwork" to the ebuild, allowing you to USE="artwork"
emerge mozilla-firefox and it will use the artwork, otherwise, it continues to
build it with the wonderful blue globe :)

patch using mozconfig_use_enable against mozilla-firefox-1.0.4.ebuild version 1.4

This is a patch against mozilla-firefox-1.0.4.ebuild revision 1.4 ebuild with
IMHO the right way to do it using mozconfig_use_enable.
Indeed Firefox and Thunderbird have an compilation option
--enable-official-branding that cleanly does what was done in the previous
suggested ebuild with some 'cp'
The same simple change could be done in Thunderbird.

Hello,

please do not forget added this "--enable-official-branding" to portage

thx

Branding is unfortunately not that easy as one patch (legal issues)...
