#JulyIsDisabilityPrideMonth, also for @gnome

As a small gesture against ableism and for disability rights, the GNOME accounts have changed their avatars to include the disability pride flag. Like the years before, apps.gnome.org has also changed its design.

GNOME is a political project that wants to make computers accessible for as many people as possible. That naturally means that GNOME supports it's disabled users and contributors and fights for disability rights.

The adjusted GNOME avatar shows the GNOME foot with its 4 toes in the colors red, yellow, blue, green, and the main part of the foot is colored with the 5 stripes of the disability flag with the colors red, yellow, light gray, blue, green. The background is the dark gray of the disability flag.
