1) This is important. It is always nice to make a good first impression. The splash screen is the first thing a new user sees. 2) The composition of the pictures is nice and artistic. 3) The resolution is not sufficient to survive zooming to fit a large HD screen. Jaggies appear in the image. The jaggies are particularly noticeable along sharp edges, such as the leading edge of aircraft, and on the lettering. Obvious options include -- Shipping hi-res and low-res versions of each image. -- Shipping some images hi-res and other images low-res. -- Shipping only hi-res images and scaling them down "on the fly" when running on a screen with fewer pixels. -- Over a *small* range of sizes, don't zoom at all, but rather show a less-than-fullscreen image in the middle of the screen, surrounded by tasteful wallpaper. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
