Christian Lenz commented on NETBEANS-1444: ------------------------------------------ So all in all, we should create PNG in any case and should change the extension to gif for where we need it for now. [~Raiken] FYI. > Splashscreen image should be a PNG instead of a GIF > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NETBEANS-1444 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1444 > Project: NetBeans > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: platform - Other > Affects Versions: Next > Reporter: Christian Lenz > Priority: Major > Attachments: IntelliJ SplashScreen.png, NetBeans 9 SplashScreen.png > > > 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.

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 > Chris -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
