Package: cinnamon
Version: 2.2.16-3
Severity: wishlist
Hi.
It would be nice if the Debian packages for Cinnamon default
to using the swirl logo just as e.g. GNOME classic does/did.
The same (update-)alternative as from GNOME could be used:
There are 2 choices for the alternative start-here.svg (providing
/usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/places/start-here.svg).
Selection Path
Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0 /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/places/debian-swirl.svg 30
auto mode
1 /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/places/debian-swirl.svg 30
manual mode
2 /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/places/gnome-foot.svg 20
manual mode
so that one get's a common UI over all the installed desktop environments.
Further I'd suggest that the Menu button created by default shouldn't contain
the text "Menu"... I guess this is clear to everyone ;-)
Cheers,
Chris.

Hi,
I'm closing this as wontfix. The "Menu" text is already gone: since
Cinnamon 4.0 the default label of the menu button is empty. For the
icon, I'd rather keep Cinnamon's own logo, since the Debian packages are
also used by derivatives. Anyone who wants the swirl can set it in the
menu applet settings ("Use a custom icon and label").
Should someone want to change the default in the future, things have
changed since the earlier discussion and it would take a single line.
Cinnamon reads the default icon from the org.cinnamon app-menu-icon-name
key, added so that distributions can override it; desktop-base installs
emblem-debian-symbolic in the hicolor theme, so it works with any icon
theme; and cinnamon-core already depends on desktop-base and ships a
gsettings override, where it would be enough to add:
[org.cinnamon]
app-menu-icon-name='emblem-debian-symbolic'
Best regards,
Fabio
