## DEVELOPMENT

Bug reports, feature requests, help, patches, support and everything else are welcome on the Open Infrastructure Software Mailing List ( \<https://lists.open-infrastructure.net/listinfo/software\> ).

Please base patches against the 'next' Git branch using common sense ( \<https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches\> ).

Debian specific bugs can also be reported in the Debian Bug Tracking System ( \<https://bugs.debian.org\> ).

## KNOWN LIMITATIONS

Changing from one icon set to the other requires a reload of the apache webserver.

## USAGE

The default icon theme is determined by the /usr/share/apache-icons/default (and /usr/share/apache-icons/default.conf respectivly) file.

On Debian based system "sudo update-alternatives --config apache-icons" can be used to automatically select the active icon theme (including the default apache icons).

The following themes are available:

- •

  awesome-png: Fork Awesome based, PNG format

- •

  awesome-svg: Fork Awesome based, SVG format

- •

  tango-png: Tango Icons based, PNG format

- •

  tango-svg: Tango Icons based, SVG format

The SVG themes are preferable because they are sharper and scale losless. Very old browser can not render SVG icons, use PNG if that is a concern.

An example of the tango-svg theme can be seen on\
  \<https://get.open-infrastructure.net\> .
