See my previous reply about this.
So I now understand that your idea would be:
Default system logo (Admin UI)
|_ Skin logo (Skin)
|_ Color Theme logo (CT) for the wiki
|_ Space Skin logo (Skin)
|_ Space Color Theme logo
In words: if the current space has a CT defined and if that CT has a logo
defined then use it, otherwise, if the current space has a skin defined and
that skin has a logo then use it, otherwise, if the current wiki has a color
theme defined and if it has a logo then use it, otherwise, if the current wiki
has a skin defined and it has a logo then use it, otherwise, if the default
system logo is defined use it, otherwise, use a default xwiki logo.
However I don’t see why a Color Theme would inherit from the skin. What’s the
rationale? What additional use cases does it provide?
See the list of use cases I started in the previous reply. Please add new use
cases if you see some that I have missed.
Note: The other issue with the above is that we’re missing nested pages.
Thanks
