Matthias Bläsing commented on NETBEANS-1444:
--------------------------------------------
Yes and changing the name would require all users of netbeans platform to
change the name of the spash screen. Before we do that, we should make really
sure, that it will not break directly again. Creating a sane API will take
time, so I would like to take the optimisations that we can take right now. The
title of this issue requests the splash to be a PNG, that should be doable
right now, fixing the name can be a followup.

> 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
