I did not follow it completely, bailed out early. IIRC the startup screen having an ASCII-art was changed at least, even better it was made switchable. You're right, the old one is still or again visible, but it is the mascot now. The official logo, seen above besides the FreeBSD-Name, is only a sphere with two cone peaks. It is used there, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD and the page has a paragraph about the logo, linking there: http://www.osnews.com/story/9660/FreeBSD-logo-design-competition So it were not only technical reasons reagarding graphics printing but complaints motivated by religion that made it happen later on. Robert Watson is one of the project leaders. -- Marc Santhoff <m.santh...@web.de> -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
