For some reason when I updated from RH9 to FC1 I lost me Red Hat Icon
and now have the Gnome Foot :( I see there is talk about creating a new
Icon for this purpose so I am assuming there is some way to change it.
There is no discussion to change the icon. See: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2003-December/msg00415.html
Several people have volunteered to contribute alternate hats, some red, some blue, some green, some grey, some black, some purple, some with feathers -- and a few purple ones with feathers of varying colors (yellow, red, white, etc.), too. I've seen many variations... even with a few drawn using XPaint.
There isn't a need to change it, however. The red fedora makes sense, as this is, after all, Fedora... and it's a Fedora.
So, for the time being, it is what it is. (:
(It should probably be customizable, but that's another matter entirely.)
