Christian Lenz commented on NETBEANS-1444:
------------------------------------------
[~mblaesing] you mean https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/942.
This could be a workaround for sure, but this shouldn't be the standard. So we
should use PNG with a splash.png instead of gif. A png should be a png and not
a png named as gif, this is confusing.

> We started a discussion with [~GeertjanWielenga] and [~Raiken] about the
> Splashscreen image (Private, no Apache mailinglist), that it would be better,
> for the image quality, to have a PNG instead of GIF for specific sizes. IMHO,
> we should get rid of GIF inside of the splash screen. AFAIK, we use PNG
> inside of the About dialog too.
> Please see the two images from IntelliJ and Apache NetBeans SplashScreens.
> The differences are the Splashscreen of IntelliJ is really clean and you can
> read everything very well. If NetBeans there is no good quality. David and me
> guessing, that they are using PNG instead of GIF. The other guessing is, that
> they are only use the Background image and adding the text (IntelliJ version
> 2018 whatever), via the IDE. So no problems, because the IDE will render the
> font.
> That makes much more sense, because we are independent from others to change
> the splash screen for every release, but this is an other topic and I will
> create a new ticket for that.
> Cheers
