----------------------------------------
Summary: Splashscreen image should be a PNG instead of a GIF
Key: NETBEANS-1444
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1444
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: platform - Other
Affects Versions: Next
Reporter: Christian Lenz
Attachments: IntelliJ SplashScreen.png, NetBeans 9 SplashScreen.png
We started a discussion with [~GeertjanWielenga] and [~Raiken] about the
Splashscreen image (Private, no Apache mailinglist), that it would be better,
for the image quality, to have a PNG instead of GIF for specific sizes. IMHO,
we should get rid of GIF inside of the splash screen. AFAIK, we use PNG inside
of the About dialog too.
Please see the two images from IntelliJ and Apache NetBeans SplashScreens.
The differences are the Splashscreen of IntelliJ is really clean and you can
read everything very well. If NetBeans there is no good quality. David and me
guessing, that they are using PNG instead of GIF. The other guessing is, that
they are only use the Background image and adding the text (IntelliJ version
2018 whatever), via the IDE. So no problems, because the IDE will render the
font.
That makes much more sense, because we are independent from others to change
the splash screen for every release, but this is an other topic and I will
create a new ticket for that.
Cheers
Chris
