I am new to this mailing list but I have been using Gimp, with great satisfaction, for about a year. When I download a new version of the application, one of the first things I usually do is replace its splash screen with my own design. I think, Gimp needs a clean, minimalist and modern splash screen, which matches to adobe and macromedia’s products. This is what I tried to achieve with this design. You can look at it here

This is one Gimp user who prefers the "About" splash screen to either the current Gimp splash screen or this new one. This new one is very clean and attractive but lacks a certain quality that "About" screen has. :)

Just my opinion. :)

Hi,

I like it, although I'm not sure I'd like it for 2.2. To see how it goes down in the meantime, there is one change that needs to be made - we aren't at GIMP 2.2 yet, we're still in 2.1.

Could you modify the text, please?

Personally, I'd like to see lots of splash-screens for the HEAD based releases (it would be wrong to call them unstable, since they haven't been), and the more users that are submitting them, the better as far as I'm concerned.

Cheers, Dave.
