Looks great! He walks the talk, I'm impressed. That is how open
source is supposed to work, not demanding changes, but submitting
changes. Well done.

Hello, Jehan.
I worked on a spashscreen, and i try to submit it.
This is what i got.
Facing the composition of this Gimp icon was a pleasure to me.
It is a simplification/stylization of the original Gimp logo.
I used a font called Panefresco, that should be free to use.
Hope you’ll like it.
GIMP!
Have a nice day.
Fulvio.

Some stuff in
https://www.gimp.org/about/splash/ [3] is just
atrocious. Pretending you don't see that
yourself is just insulting.
Where did I say anything like this? Where did I even say anything
about
the art at all. I haven't given my opinion on the artworks there,
and
that's on purpose.
To be clear, I am not fond of some of the splash screens either,
but
that's ok. That's not for me (or others) to be the policymaker of
what
is good or not.
Anyway you should consider that putting words in other people's
mouth
can also be considered as "insulting".
You do realize that "fun" and "7 years old
level of aesthetics" is not
the same? One of the things I dig about
Darktable is that I can show
it to PS/LR users without being laughed
at.
I don't understand what you want to "show". When we work on
projects, we
don't show our programs. Nobody care about the programs we use.
They
only consider the finale artwork.
Also calling other people's artworks "atrocious" and "7 year old
level
of aesthetics" can also be considered "insulting", can't it?
It's the icons story all
over again.
I don't understand this kind of statement.
GIMP is made by everyone who wants to contribute. We are seriously
undermanned (I would say "understaffed", but since there are no
salaries
for anyone, and the only 2 people — Pippin and I — who are trying
to
get
crowdfunded get bare minimum, that would not be proper to call
anyone
"staff").
Anyone is more than welcome to contribute code, icons, themes,
documentation, website text and images, tutorials, splash screen,
their
time, their skills, and more…
So yeah as a conclusion, there are no "stories". Please if anyone
has
propositions to improve things, be our guests. Contribute. Send
patches
and stuff. This would be more constructive. But please let's
refrain
from insulting others and their work.
Thanks.

My name is Fulvio.
I’ve been a Gimp fan since a lot of
time ago (I’m a graphic
designer and I do not how to use
Photoshop, consider this).
I just downloaded the 2.9 version of
the software and checked the
new
features and UI.
All looks nice (and font loading is
now much faster), but please,
and
this is the purpose of the post,
consider to use a neat, minimal
Logo
opening. The actual loading window is
not at the level of the
software
and its specs. Look for a designer to
draw and compose a
minimal/material Design for your app
loading screen, because of
the
perception of the app starts from this
screen (the actual loading
window is not goo, really).
I assume you mean the splash image? What
don't you like in it? That
it is not serious enough?
Though in theory I don't really disagree
that some kind of fancy
"simple/minimal" design can be nice, I
don't believe this to be that
important. We had by the past people
wanting to make GIMP a
"product", something "professional
looking" and whatnot. And this
one experience I am thinking about was
not a pleasant experience to
me, at all. In the end, I appreciate
that some people can have some
fun while making GIMP (especially since
it's done on most parts as
voluntary work) rather than making
boring corporate images. As long
as the software itself is actually good,
professional and does well
what it is supposed to do, does it
really matter that the splash
image is usually a fun image contributed
by various artists?
This is even more true for 2.9 which is
a dev version (therefore
allows even more fun), but even stable
versions used to have more or
less interesting/funny designs:
https://www.gimp.org/about/splash/
[3]
This being said, as I said, our splash
screens are indeed
contributed by various artists and we
definitely welcome more
contributions there. If you want to
propose a splash for a next dev
version, please be our guest. Next
splash could be yours. :-)
Yet know that it won't stop us from also
accepting other funky
splash images when they will be
contributed as well.
Have a nice day.
I just wanted to suggest something)
Thanks for this. This mailing list is
indeed the right venue to
propose a splash screen for a further
version.
We look forward to any contribution from
you or any artist
(painter, designer, photograph…) who has
an idea for a nice splash
screen. :-)
