Oneboxing of site links is often not visible, especially on beta sites:

enter image description here

Many sites, like Ask Ubuntu and Sharepoint also have predominantly white logos in oneboxes.

These images should have a background colour, so that they are visible.

  1. chat.stackoverflow.com has a slightly off-white background, so the white content is still slightly visible. chat.stackexchange has a pure-white background, white content is gone.

  2. the one-box for http://stackexchange.com is pure white, and looks like:

    white background

    at least on chat.stackoverflow the white is visible:

    Chat.stackoverflow

    I agree they are very hard to see because of this.

    @Benny can't you bring this up directly to the staff in the TL chat room? Bug reports here fall below the radar many times.

  • Well, one possible solution is giving background color to the parent div when oneboxing site logo, e.g. with blue background the result is: i.stack.imgur.com/2DXYt.png

  • @ShadowWizard But then what about blue logos? :-P The best solution, as far as I can tell, is to use a colour from the api, or just use the icon_url and text name instead.

  • Good point @fredley, was just looking for a quick and not-so-elegant fix that might be implemented faster.

  • Given the relatively minor impact that this has we won't be handling this.
