This is good to see. I would like the splash screen to be smaller than 600 X 600. It seems much larger than the old screen, and also looks pixelated, a surprise for an SVG image. The SVG image opens at 804 pixels, according to Irfanview; trying half that looked about the right size for a splash screen, IMHO. Of course, that will depend on your screen size. Mine is HD.
Qt supports painting SVG images, and it would seem better to render the splash screen that way rather than as a pixmap. From the Qt6 docs <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/svgrendering.html>: "The easiest way to render SVG files is to construct a QSvgWidget <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qsvgwidget.html> and load an SVG file using one of the QSvgWidget::load <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qsvgwidget.html#load>() functions. QSvgRenderer <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qsvgrenderer.html> is the class responsible for rendering SVG files for QSvgWidget <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qsvgwidget.html>, and it can be used directly to provide SVG support for custom widgets. To load an SVG file, construct a QSvgRenderer <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qsvgrenderer.html> with a file name or the contents of a file, or call QSvgRenderer::load <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qsvgrenderer.html#load>() on an existing renderer. If the SVG file has been loaded successfully the QSvgRenderer::isValid <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qsvgrenderer.html#isValid>() will return true. Once you have loaded the SVG file successfully, you can render it with the QSvgRenderer::render <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qsvgrenderer.html#render>() function. Note that this scheme allows you to render SVG files on all paint devices supported by Qt, including QWidget <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qwidget.html>, QGLWidget, and QImage <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qimage.html>." I haven't tried this out yet. I'll create an issue for this. On Monday, January 23, 2023 at 6:12:39 AM UTC-5 Edward K.
