Modeler welcome screen
Hi folks,
I always had trouble finding the right one of my recent projects on the modeler's startup screen because their paths were always cut off. Turns out it's sufficient to make the welcome.jpg wider to fix that. I changed it to look like this now:
I didn't bother recreating the background patterns in the image. Any comments before I submit this as a pull request?
Thanks

Yes, just pointing out that I'm using the current image in case we need to
update the prototype if a new image/etc is decided upon.
Thanks,

Great.
FWIW, I was referring to the old Modeler. Planning to fix it too.

I managed to make the old image work OK (I think) in the prototype's splash
panel. Always open to suggestions for improvement, though.

I did look for the original Photoshop files I made many years ago, but couldn't find them. However, in the move to JavaFX, perhaps a Material design theme could work well. jfoenix is an Apache licensed one, but I've not used it before.

That was my thoughts too. It would be grade to engage a designer. BTW, does
anyone still use 4:3 monitors? Would the format of the image be a problem
for them?

I could make a gradient or something, but I don't know how to draw pretty patterns.

Hi Maik,
The paths getting cut-off is precisely why I changed Cayenne Modeler to
show you the full path when you hover over an entry. Not ideal, but was
better than nothing.
In the Cayenne Modeler Prototype I'm working on, the open/splash screen has
the paths in a scrollable list (so you can always see the full path) and
includes keyboard navigation as well (nicer when your hand isn't on the
mouse):

Always had the same problem, this is awesome :D. There’s a workaround though, the full paths of recent projects can be seen in the file menu.
