Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Looking for a new splash screen
Hi Adolfo, For the in-program artwork, it's right, we just need PNG's However, there are two reasons why we want SVG: #1 License compliance: the LGPL license say that you have to be able to show the source for any given part of a covered work. It is a bit of a stretch to try to apply a software source code license to artwork, but nonetheless we'd like to be on the safe side. (If you started out with Gimp, then obviously the source would be an XCF file.) #2 The other, very practical reason is that we might want to make changes (maybe now, maybe later) – that could range from adapting the dimensions of the splash screen to having to add a version number ...; with a raster image all of that is a bit harder. Hope this helps, Astron. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Looking for a new splash screen
I’ve submitted my first draft, but I made it in GIMP. Why is SVG required, if not to make raster images from it? I can upload my source .xcf, though, and later I can redo it in Inkscape. -- Fitoschido -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Looking for a new splash screen
Hi all I updated the Wiki Page to add a proposal : A color coded splash screen (based on Minty proposal by Astron) : - Progress bar use the color of the launched app: - Blue progress bar for Writer - Red progress bar for Impress - Yellow progress bar for Draw - ... - Grey progress bar for general LibO launch (LibO main window) - On Unofficial builds (Community builds), as with Astron's proposal, do not display The Document Foundation, and make the triangles grey. Excuse me for the designs, they aren't beautiful, but I used Inkscape for the first time (and I'm at work I don't have a long time) What do you think of : -Having a few differences whether we launch Writer, Calc, Main window... -This design ? Kévin 2012/6/8 Adolfo Jayme Barrientos fitosch...@gmail.com Nevermind, I’ve redone my design in SVG and uploaded the Inkscape source file.

I don't think that the ~1 sec statistic is accurate, at least for computers that don't have such great specs. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
