664794 - Update branding for Thunderbird's aurora equivalent channel: Earlybird

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

As per the discussions on tb-planning, we've chosen the name Earlybird for the aurora channel.

We'll start off with just redoing the text names etc, and we'll redo the actual images later.

Note that for the back-end, we're going to be keeping to aurora, as that's the AUS channel name, and the repo name etc.

Initial patch for which sets up the Earlybird branding in the aurora directory, using the Miramar logos for now. I'll be landing this on central and aurora.

I've tested it out on Windows and Mac, and I like it.  :)

I just noticed that on Windows 7 at 150% text zoom the Earlybird icon is really pixelated, whereas the Thunderbird icons aren't.  You can see the difference at <http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2301433/Earlybird150.png>.

Also, the about screen at large font size looks off <http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2301433/EarlybirdAbout.png>.

Attachment: fixed icons

Ah, it seems the ico files are lacking sizes over 48px. Thanks for spotting it! This also affects the daily icon, so this patch fixes that as well.
Branding dialog graphics coming up as soon as I've kicked my local build back into shape.

Attachment: Dialogs and icons that works in zoom too

This fixes both the icons and About dialogs for Daily and Earlybird (as the same problem was appearing for both Daily and Earlybird).

I like it, admittedly based mostly on the screenshots.  :)

ui-r=me, and since it looks simple, I'll say r=me, too, although Standard8 should feel free to contradict me on that.

Later,
Blake.
