Hi Henrik,
I've created this splash for the cd browser

What do you think?


Thanks that looks good. A few things:

I notice that you have a black region at the bottom where I presume 
progress icons would normally go (as when gnome starts up). That's not 
needed for the CD browser, so perhaps we could eliminate that and just 
stretch the rest of the design down.


I've put the original, my own quick hack and your image up here: 
http://people.ubuntu.com/~henrik/winfoss/splash-dev/ so we can consider 
the options. It might of course be good to base it on the new dapper 
gnome splash when that lands to make it more consistent.

A quick sanity check: Does the browser take so long to start up that
it needs a splash?

Yes, because it loads the whole thing from the CD. So if you have 
slowish drive it can take a while. It's good to let the user know that 
something is actually happening.

Ok. As long as we are not adding a splash for the sake of having a splash...
