I like the layout and color selection. Not sure I understand the leaf (?)
background, though QGIS is used quite a bit for forestry and  
bio-sciences.


I just like the colors. It will only be used for a couple of days, and  
there are a lot of other things that still requrire attention before the  
Hackfest and FOSS4G, so I think I'll leave it.



Just a thought: maybe instead try a bunch of translucent icons (new icons
for add layers?) floating/swirling around. I realize this is just an
interim splash, but could be something like that might make a good  
graphic

for the web site as well. That really is one of QGIS strongest core
features: its ability to work with so many providers, both open and
proprietary. Plus those new layer icons look good.


Sorry, I don't think I can pull that off.

If the new group photo is similar to the last two (a row or two of  
faces),
then the use of both dev and master words in the layout means dev may  
cover
some faces. 'Master' is really from git nomenclature, while dev is  
probably

more commonly understood. So, I suggest just removing master and lowering
dev to make more room for the photo. Maybe try dev in the master's  
yellow,

then.


Once we have some photos to chose from, I'm sure we'll find a way to make  
a decent splash. I'm not emotionally invested in either master or dev  
use. If we need the space, I'll happily get rid of master.

 It could be something generic until then. If you want, I  can whip
 something up.


 Right now, any users checking out the latest nightly are presented
with a
 splash that denotes 1.9 (assuming they have the splash turned on)
instead
 of 2.1. Not a big deal, but could confuse some users.

 Maybe replace that with a new layout that will basically be the  
same as
 when the Brighton photo is included? May be good to have the  
layout's

style
 be similar to the new stable version's splash, e.g. square corners  
and
 choice of font; but, not too similar, so it is easy to see at a  
glance

 which version you have launched.

Re: [Qgis-developer] Master branch splash screen

2013-09-08 Thread Ted
Think the issue is dragged for no reason. We have a dev / master branch
splash screen that says 1.9 alpha while we debate on leaf ...

its important to have a splash screen that's relevant. So, high time that
we change that.

The debate can go on after that.

My 2 cents

Hi Larry,

Here's a generic 2.1 splash

It could be something generic until then. If you want, I  can whip
something up.



Right now, any users checking out the latest nightly are presented
with a splash that denotes 1.9 (assuming they have the splash turned
on) instead of 2.1. Not a big deal, but could confuse some users.

Maybe replace that with a new layout that will basically be the same
as when the Brighton photo is included? May be good to have the
layout's style be similar to the new stable version's splash, e.g.
square corners and choice of font; but, not too similar, so it is easy
to see at a glance which version you have launched.

Larry

I like the layout and color selection. Not sure I understand the leaf (?)
background, though QGIS is used quite a bit for forestry and bio-sciences.

Just a thought: maybe instead try a bunch of translucent icons (new icons
for add layers?) floating/swirling around. I realize this is just an
interim splash, but could be something like that might make a good graphic
for the web site as well. That really is one of QGIS strongest core
features: its ability to work with so many providers, both open and
proprietary. Plus those new layer icons look good.

If the new group photo is similar to the last two (a row or two of faces),
then the use of both dev and master words in the layout means dev may cover
some faces. 'Master' is really from git nomenclature, while dev is probably
more commonly understood. So, I suggest just removing master and lowering
dev to make more room for the photo. Maybe try dev in the master's yellow,
then.

Larry
