Thanks for suggesting. This is actually a very good use case for theme extension, as I don't consider it a good idea to make attributes on elements configurable. It's just too fine grained. When we would make the alt text configurable, the next user would want to add a title, or a separate second logo which is only shown on mobile, etc. I think you get the gist.
The logo is hosted in its own partial, so overriding it is absolutely trivial 😊
Additionally:
- Being able to specify alt text in the configuration file instead of having to add it manually would save time
You only pay the investment once when you override the partial.
- Making it more of a feature of the theme may encourage greater adoption
I doubt that an alt tag would aid in adoption
- Alt text is an important accessibility requirement for non-decorational images
The logo has an alt tag, defaulting to "logo".

Description
Hi,
It would be useful if it were possible to configure alt text for the logo through the configuration file. I'm currently doing it manually by modifying the generated HTML files but have only been playing with the theme for a few days so may have missed something - apologies if so.
As a side note, anecdotally,
aria-labelis typically spoken in preference to the value ofalt, so to make this work thearia-labelfor the anchor either needs to be set to the desired alt text or removed completely which is the approach I'd recommend FWIW.Thanks.
