Sorry for waiting, here are three options for the loading screen. Feel free to enter your feedback straight into the Xd Link. https://xd.adobe.com/view/f174730e-92a0-47d2-42c0-905b37a58019-8745/

These are two different text boxes--the position, size, and horizontal alignment is configurable. The font must be a standard system font, typically whichever one Java uses for the "Dialog" font. There is no line breaking allowed, though. (I.e. "Apache NetBeans IDE 11.0 (Build 20190409-8edbbadda0de)" is all the same text string. If that's an aesthetic problem, I could write some more code to make the build number a separately configurable text box.). > Is the bar in the AI file is a progress bar which fill up? Is the style here > fixed? Can we replace it with a spinner? Yes, it's shown in the AI file for illustration; it will fill up left to right. The designer gets to pick its dimensions (start X,Y and width/thickness) and color. No spinner available, unfortunately, must be a progress bar. (The progress bar does have the advantage of showing the actual percentage of loading complete.) You can see the actual configuration file here: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1246/files#diff-ea2767e19db5427efcfe777b18ebb919 (I can help setting the coordinates here if you give me an image that illustrates where you want the text boxes and status bar to go.) So, to summarize, the necessary parts for the screen are: o Version string, on one line o "Apache NetBeans" Logo o Loading Hint text box, on one line (e.g. "Loading modules..." though this will be changed to other potentially long indication messages) o Progress bar rectangle (not a spinner) o Key Visual (background graphic) Thanks for your time! -- Eirik From: David Schulz <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2019 3:55 AM To: Eirik Bakke <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NETBEANS-2455] Splash Screens! Hey Eirik, It looks already good 😉 Just some questions from my site: - Loading and the Version hint is a string and will be added by the system, right? - Is the bar in the AI file is a progress bar which fill up? Is the style here fixed? Can we replace it with a spinner? - The necessary parts for the screen are: o Version Number / Hint o Apache NetBeans Logo o Loading Hint o Progress bar / spinner o Key Visual (background graphic) o ? Here is my initial draft: I’m not really in favour of it and will change some stuff here over the week to make it more visual appealing in combination with the new information. 😉 All the best, David From: Eirik Bakke Sent: Dienstag, 11. Juni 2019 03:41 To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NETBEANS-2455] Splash Screens! Hi, David! The Pull Request at https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1246, which it seems we will be merging for 11.1, introduces some technical changes to the splash screen: 1) The resolution should be 960x600, to make it look sharp on HiDPI/Retina displays. On non-HiDPI displays it will be automatically scaled down 50%. 2) There will now be a version string, e.g. "Apache NetBeans IDE 11.0 (Build 20190601-0499877ef874)" displayed somewhere on the splash screen, in addition to the progress bar status text. This string can be either left-aligned, center-aligned, or right-aligned, and like for the status bar text, we can choose the font size and color. 3) The "Apache NetBeans" icon + logotype combination has been enlarged, and omits the version number (since the latter is now shown in the separate version string). The pull request includes a very simple splash screen that would meet these requirements, but I didn't quite manage to reproduce the style you established in the other graphic assets (website, previous splash screen, IDE welcome tab). If you'd like to do a more elaborate updated splash screen graphic, feel free to provide one!

Hey Chris, Hey Antonio, sure, „Official“ could be the hard part here. But we have a logo from our Website refresh project last month. These should fit. I attached two versions: #Clean Clean logo with new spacing so that it looks more aligned #Seperation Line Same like „Clean“ but with a thin separation line between the logo and the logo names We used the „Montserrat“ as font for the NetBeans Branding. You can download it from Google Fonts. All the best, David From: Christian Lenz Sent: 05 May 2019 11:37 To: [email protected] Cc: David Schulz Subject: AW: [NETBEANS-2455] Splash Screens!
