Hi,

It should change the filesystem logo.png/svg from the base skin OR add an
attachment to the DefaultSkin' (which version is more easy technically - I
guess the DefaultSkin attachment).
Being as the default logo for the DefaultSkin, this means it can be
inherited / overridden by the Color Themes.

Well these are the questions we need to answer from a development point view.
In theory it would be nice to be able to change the Skin logo using this
control. Somehow create a shortcut between this default logo and the skin
logo, or change the base skin logo from the filesystem. This way the
Color
Themes will display the logo. Other ideas are
welcomed.
The description is technical I know, still there are so many ways in
XWiki
to change to logo and override it, that a warning
is welcomed.
Right now, I disagree with this proposal (I’d vote -1 if it were a vote)
since it doesn’t currently address what happens to the other ways of
changing the logo and it adds yet another way on top of the existing ones,
making the situation even more complex…
So for me we need to:
1) Rationalize the change of logo better in the proposal and explain what
happens to the other places and explain in the proposal why the user would
use one or the other of the ways. Do some ways get deprecated or not either?
2) Define what it means to change the logo in the proposed new Admin UI.
Does it create a new skin? Does it modifies the DefaultSkin page and attach
a logo to it? Does it modifies the currently selected Color Theme and adds
a logo to it? Does it do something else?
I also need some answers to my questions asked above such as "What does it
mean “at wiki or page level”? How do you do that? Using a custom skin?
Using a color theme?"
The wiki/page level mention was because you can have a different Skin/CT
with a different logo for that level. If you think that is confusing, we
can rephrase it.
