[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-1444) Splashscreen image should be a
PNG instead of a GIF
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1444?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16772918#comment-16772918 ]
Christian Lenz commented on NETBEANS-1444:
------------------------------------------
So all in all, we should create PNG in any case and should change the extension to gif for where we need it for now. [~Raiken] FYI.

> We started a discussion with [~GeertjanWielenga] and [~Raiken] about the Splashscreen image (Private, no Apache mailinglist), that it would be better, for the image quality, to have a PNG instead of GIF for specific sizes. IMHO, we should get rid of GIF inside of the splash screen. AFAIK, we use PNG inside of the About dialog too.
> Please see the two images from IntelliJ and Apache NetBeans SplashScreens.
> The differences are the Splashscreen of IntelliJ is really clean and you can read everything very well. If NetBeans there is no good quality. David and me guessing, that they are using PNG instead of GIF. The other guessing is, that they are only use the Background image and adding the text (IntelliJ version 2018 whatever), via the IDE. So no problems, because the IDE will render the font.
> That makes much more sense, because we are independent from others to change the splash screen for every release, but this is an other topic and I will create a new ticket for that.
> Cheers
> Chris
