#655 Anaconda installation banners cut-off
Closed: Invalid by duffy. Opened by dan1mal.

Closed: Invalid
Reopen Issue

phenomenon

When installing Fedora and not using a large enough screen to accommodate the entire marketing banner at the bottom of the Anaconda installation window, the banner is cut off.

reason

The banner is not resized when the window size is too small for the full length of the image (750 x 120px).

recommendation

  1. Resize the image to fit the space according to %. However, this may cause height sizing issues.
  2. Replace the image with a secondary image created for smaller width windows.

postscript

Not an urgent issue, but given that many people run the installer in VMs the bug may be seen quite often and fixing it would lend the feeling of a more polished interface.

@dan1mal would you happen to have a screenshot handy? this is an anaconda issue so it should probably be reported upstream to the anaconda folks (they use bugzilla) - the design team provides the artwork but we don't do the code that renders the image. a screenshot would be helping in filing this upstream though which i'm happy to do.

@duffy, do you know if in the upcoming F31 these banners have been discontinued?

@alciregi i dont but i can ask the anaconda folks

@alciregi @dan1mal just verified with the anaconda team the banners will not be in F31. the issue of the banners getting truncated is also reported upstream already - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1573535

I am going to close this issue since it won't apply to F31. I hope that's ok!

thank you so much @duffy!

I went to the bugzilla report and added my 2cents. I don't think its really a difficult issue to resolve, but I think they're programmers over there, whereas the issue seems more like a design/html/css issue.

I've just recently found the python code for anaconda and am going to start combing it for the relevant section, but I don't know python and its a lot of files. :)

Thank you so much for your help with this!

@dan1mal sure glad to be of help. the banners are gone from anaconda in f31 now so the bug isnt really applicable anymore.
