Well, the current splashscreen implementation is based on an abandoned
Java 6 splashscreen feature which is supposed to help the user
experience on the slow bootstrap of the JVM. It takes an image from
AFAIK bootstrap.jar upon a MANIFEST.MF attribute. The JVM displays that
image before even starting anything else, then later on it adds some
update support to that splashscreen.

Could be cool with a non rectangular splash. A trick - or rather hack
;-) to render such a splash without too much brain activity needed
and leverage existing codebase, is to dynamically screendump the
rectangular area were the splash would usually, and draw/copy in the
non rectangular feature on top of that small screendump, then use the
usual code to view the now rectangular splash which will look to the
user as a non-rectangular splash (as long as he or she has not moved
the window or got some popups in that second the whole thing takes).
Maybe there is an easier way to make a non-rectangular splash ? (FX ?
but that will include need of much bigger code change) This would
allow to splash the logo only with some number inside referring to the
release version. I know wild idea, but would look "different".

Yeah, the current one for sure doesn't go along the new logo. Is
branding
part of this first release?

Hi all!
Now that we have a new logo and new website — a next logical step would
include a new splash screen.
I.e., parallel to the NetCAT program getting started and moving
along well,
we could propose various splash screen designs, featuring our new
logo and
maybe some of the styles and colors from the website, followed by a
vote
thread?
Just an idea,
Gj
