Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Are there icons and banners to use on the documentation blog?

Hi John, all

I can't work on the topic at the moment - anybody else?

Perhaps some brainstorming about the questions I already posted...

There will be different blogs (marketing for example), so we need some 
special blog icons for the different blogs.

This would be quite large - perhaps we can include all the information I 
mentioned...

And this I can't understand at all.

Does anybody with an iPad can describe what happens?

- There is an icon on the iPad, called "home screen icon"?
- What does it show? How does it open a website?
- Can it be linked to any image, changing it's visual appearance?

- The large icon (preview? Splash screen?) is shown just for a few 
seconds, and then the cover image appears.
- Is the cover image the same as the cover logo?
- Why doesn't is sits on the desktop all the time?

So the cover image is a recent blog posting?
Does the cover image contain the cover logo?
Sorry, I can't imagine.

Is there any iPad image around with such an image?

If we understand how they are used, it should be possible - but not by 
me at the moment.

I have to prioritize the work stacked before me...

Best regards

Bernhard
