1224759 - [New Home Screen] Pinned Site icons can be difficult to see on the Home Screen if the site icon has a transparency layer.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Homescreen, defect)

Description

[Martin Shuman [:Marty]]

Attachment: logcat_transparent-pin-icon.txt

Description:
If a site icon has a transparency layer, the icon can be difficult to see when the site is pinned to the homescreen.

In the Legacy Home Screen, the bookmark icon was placed in front of a white circle, which avoided this problem.

Note: The only site I have found which has a transparency layer is Polygon.com, but this may affect other websites as well.

Repro Steps:
1) Update a Aries to 20151113123209
2) Open the Browser app and navigate to Polygon.com
3) Select the ellipsis (...) and Pin the Site
4) Return to the Homescreen

Actual:
Pinned Site icons do not have a background color, so icons with a transparency layer can be difficult to see on the Homescreen.

Expected:
Pinned Site icons have a white background to them to accommodate icons with a transparency layer.

This issue DOES occur on the latest Flame 2.6 and 2.5 builds.
Pinned Site icons do not have a background color, so icons with a transparency layer can be difficult to see on the Homescreen.
