1795740 - Artwork assets for MSIX packaging

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Installer, enhancement)

Description

[Rob Lemley [:rjl]]

In order to build MSIX packages for Thunderbird, some icons and other image assets are needed.

For the most part, the images are the Thunderbird logo in various sizes. Additional icons are needed for file type and URL associations for Mail, Calendar, and News.

Files needed:
Logos:
LargeTile.scale-200.png (620x620)
SmallTile.scale-200.png (142x142)
Square150x150Logo.scale-200.png (300x300)
Square44x44Logo.altform-lightunplated_targetsize-256.png (256x256 light mode)
Square44x44Logo.altform-unplated_targetsize-256.png (256x256 dark mode)
Square44x44Logo.scale-200.png (88x88)
Square44x44Logo.targetsize-256.png (256x256)
StoreLogo.scale-200.png (100x100)
Wide310x150Logo.scale-200.png (620x300, logo centered)

File/URL associations: (44x44 icons)
Calendar44x44.png (for .ics, webcal:, webcals:)
Email44x44.png (for .eml, mailto:, mid:)
News44x44.png (for nntp:, news:, snews:)

I have grossly oversimplified the requirements. I tried to locate documentation on MSDN to figure out what's what and how they're used but didn't have much luck. Lots of dead links... It's probably easiest to look at the files under browser/branding/official/msix/Assets and work from there. The logos are all the Firefox logo, but have varying amounts of padding and different sizes and scaling.

I've got very rudimentary icons that I plan to land with bug 1724159 to push the build process forward. They definitely need to be replaced.

My fault, I missed during review that the "assets" directory in each of the branding directories is all lower case. The tooling expects them to be "Assets".

The MSIX repackaging tools expect "Assets".
