Bugzilla, Bugzilla, Bugzilla

April 20th, 2006

On the main page of bugzilla.gnome.org there is an image of a bug:

image of a -hard to recognise- bug

I do not like that image. Could someone please design a better one and attach it to bug 339216?

Another thing I hate is the color used for quoted text (#ad7fa8). I chose that color so that I could make the first person who complained responsible for giving a better one. Unfortunately no one complained. Still want a better (non-blueish) color.

    Is it possible to get a copy of the WONDERFUL gnome bugzilla theme that you did? Is the theme open source and if so, under what license?

    Thanks!

    All the changes to the standard Bugzilla 2.20 are in CVS (so not only template changes, but every added report, changes to Bugzilla code, etc). The module is called bugzilla-newer, see http://cvs.gnome.org/ and http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/bugzilla-newer/. License is whatever Bugzilla uses (I think MPL). There are still a few template changes on the server I need to merge.

    Some of the template changes required changes in the Bugzilla code (bugzilla points, knowing who are the developers, tc), so only using the template/, skins/ and images/ is not enough. If you have questions or something doesn’t work, feel free to email bugmaster@gnome.org.

    I’d go with a simple grey for the quoted text: #888A85

    I like the image. Clearly it is a strawberry that is very frustrated with all the bugs. ;)

    I thought it looked like an oversized chile pepper with a monocle in a bamboo forest.

    Through all bugzillas i’ve seen, i think it is better to get rid of image at all – it doesn’t help in understanding and whatever the picture will be, it will either look scary or unapropriate to a issue-tracking software (which bugzilla is).

    Still, if you think that an image would help, i suggest bugbuddy’s icon (i think it had one!).
