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

> 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
