Did the CWS Interface Change?

[Duane O'Brien]

It looks like there was a recent change to the CWS, and now when I
search for our extension I see a more discoverable "Apps, Extensions,
Themes" set of buttons at the top - improvement is great!

But when I click on Extensions, I see art for our extension that we
haven't used in about 7 months. Is this a known / recent issue?

Ideas are good things to have even if they are old.

[Duane O'Brien]

Anyone?

What's the right place to be raising CWS issues?

Hi Duane,

You can raise them here. 

Are you saying that the icon for your extension is outdated? Have you checked the content in the developer dashboard?

I've checked the content in the dashboard yeah. It appears to me that the style of icon that's being displayed in search isn't one that the dashboard includes any longer. Unless I'm missing it. 

Thanks Joe.

Can you give me the URL to your item?

[Duane O'Brien]

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search-extensions/Edge%20Inspect?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon

If you compare the icon showing up in search, it's from when the
extension was previously called Shadow. It was rebranded in September
to Edge Inspect. Clicking on the listing shows the new icon and name.

[Joe Marini]

Oh, I see. What you're seeing is that the Medium Tile image is being used in the search listing. I just checked and the current image that we have for the Medium Tile is that image.

You need to update this via the Developer Dashboard - this isn't the icon image.

[Duane O'Brien]

I see it now, the Small tile you mean?

I'm pretty sure this was updated when we did the branding change, but
I may have been under the impression that it wasn't being used anymore
- didn't the CWS previously use the Icon / Puzzle Piece combo in
search results? Or was this tile always just there and we somehow
only just saw it?

[Joe Marini]

I think when we updated the search interface we started using the tile images. That was back in January.

[Duane O'Brien]

Thanks Joe. I've pushed out a new image. This was probably just
something we missed entirely.

[Joe Marini]

OK. Give it a little bit to take effect.
