In my humble opinion: - I prefer a professional look over a super-media-rich one, if Kdenlive project is really addressed to professional users. Iwan's tiger or megascreenshots is so presumptuous to look serious, but has cleaner header (the top).
- I suggest to replace "Linux" by "GNU/Linux" - I suggest to replace "Make great videos" by "Edit polite videos" (indicating that Kdenlive is a video editor) El 28/01/16 a les 04:28, Brian Cluff ha escrit: >> To be blunt: not in a design I work on. > > Got it... this is your baby and you aren't actually looking for input > from others... > >> I can only recommend to abandon the practice of using images with >> text built-in in general, > > If I were to implement that header like that in a design the vast > majority of the text would NOT be baked in.
