We should try to remove the overwrites from the skin / color themes and fallback on the default logo. Overwriting the logo from skin/color theme/space will still be possible, but this should be used only in advanced use cases. Currently we are providing too many XWiki logos in the custom Color Themes (for example in the case of dark colors) and we duplicate the logo in all these places, forcing the user to know the priority order. Currently there is no UI to change the default logo. You can only change it from the file system. >From the Administration, the user instead of changing the Skin logo, go to the CT. This could also be improved by: (A) making sure the Skin logo is as easy to change as the one from CT, (B) maybe change the order of displayed configurations from (Default Logo, CT, Icon Themes, Skin) to (Default Logo, Skin, CT, Icon Themes) - this order would better present the priority order, but it would put on a lower place the CT change, which is quite often and popular. --- So for this proposal we had Thomas, Alex, Guillaume, Vincent, me agreed. Marius, let me know if you have other questions / suggestions.
