Yes, aligning it would be (theoretically) a possibility, but in concrete terms there seems to be hardly enough space available. I uploaded a sketch, the text would have to be arranged imho within the red lines: http://calc-info.de/files/skizze.gif but the text would have to be quite small and I don't know if that is acceptable. A basic remark: would it be good to use two different logos (one for Splash-Screen and one for About-Box)? Or is that not the point at all? Yes, this remark extends the discussion (and makes it more difficult) but please understand my position - I _don't_ want to dominate the discussion with my opinion. So at the end of the discussion the _best technical_ (or optical) solution should be found and not a 'deal' just to not annoy anybody. > Would it be possible for you and Matthias to discuss this > off-list in German and reach an agreement? I would agree, but I know that Mathias won't talk to me. Therefore it is unfortunately not possible.
