Wrong Distribution Icon in Gnome Control Center

[coralof]

• Distribution (version): Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3
• Desktop environment: GNOME
• Installing method: Papirus Installer
• App name (version): gnome-control center (info-overview??)

When you go into gnome-control-center, and select "Details" and then "About", you can see the wrong icon for the distribution being displayed.

This is what gnome-control-center currently shows, and I did find these icons in the icon theme. Is there a way to set them so that they show up correctly in gnome-control-center? It's a minor thing, but it bugs me to no end. Thank you!

Seems, this issue not related to papirus-icon-theme. Ask gnome-control-center package maintainers to fix it on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/

Thank you for pointing that out. I've opened a bug report with Red Hat instead. :)

I received a response from Red Hat. They pointed out that this is not a bug in RHEL. They mentioned that papirus-icon-theme theme is overriding fedora-logo-icon with an upstream Fedora logo instead of a Red Hat fedora logo, and they referenced this commit from papirus-icon-theme regarding replacing the gnome-control-center icons in Ubuntu and Fedora in the thread.

They also mentioned that the way papirus-icon-theme has set up this icon, it will be broken everywhere; not just in gnome-control-center, as "RHEL expects fedora-logo-icon to be a Red Hat fedora, not a Fedora project logo". If you would like to check the bug report I submitted to Red Hat, that is HERE.

So, fedora-logo-icon should point to rhel logo. Okay... I've seen things dumber.

Yeah, I find that confusing too. I guess it's because the Red Hat logo IS a fedora??

[SmartFinn]

I prefer to remove this icon to avoid confusion. Especially because the logo doesn't change in future versions.
