The wolf is perhaps a bit too subtle, but if I can see him at all, he probably isn't that subtle to other people. And I'mnot usre that in thsi case I am right about teh versuion number. The essentials are there - the TDE version of amaroK. Thanks, Alexandre. I'll vote for it. Lisi

Two things, perhaps already highlighted by Lisi: 1) version number visible. I read many people that prefer the TDE version of Amarok to the KDE. So better make it visible ;-) 2) perhaps instead of the wolf in the moon, you could blend in the "double arrows" of the original logo, to serve as a "link" to the origin. Let's see what other people think too. Cheers Michele

However I have a few comments, IDK if they've been mentioned already. 1) Is the CD spinning in the correct direction? 2) Is the moon correctly aligned? I assume it's Earth's moon eh, really? 3) TDE Music Player, I think Trinity Music Player is better I don't like the word ''Trinity'' personally. I think TDE is cooler. 4) There is a grey background tint at the bottom of the image, I don't think it's needed 5) The tops of 'amar' and the CD have a few grey pixels That is anti-alias, or sub-pixel hinting. 6) White pixels top left and top right I like the trees silhouette, grey hills and purple glow. I guess these are fairly minor quibbles. Andrew Hi all, Here is a new version, with the version (ha!) number in it. This is not a good idea to have the version number in a splash screen, because it means that the splash screen picture will have to be modified if/when a new version of the app is out. More maintenance is not better... I will keep the wolf. Matter of fact there is a wolf in the amaroK icon since the first release (maybe in 2005?). It is only in the last splash screen that they did, that the wolf has been removed. But anyway, the concept of the wolf yelling at the moon would make no sense at all without the wolf. -Alexandre

What about the attached modified version? The CD is spinning in the other way, "TDE music player" is slightly smaller and the v1.4 is near the Amarok name and not "lost" in the top right corner. I just did a raw select-copy-paste so the result is somehow basic, surely Alex can do better. Cheers Michele Hi all, As I said, more maintenance is NOT better. If the version number change, the splash screen will have to be modified. And it will more than likely not be me who will modify back the version number, for some reasons... If it is to be kept on the splash screen, I prefer to keep it in the top right corner, as I think something was kind-of missing in this corner. Also, what is visible on the cd is not an arrow. It is a laser trace of the CD being read, which means that you all want to see it turn the wrong way. Anyway things are getting complicated for no valuable reasons. If someone else is ready to do another splash, then let's do it. But no one did it, as it is for all other artwork on TDE... Alexandre
