Comment 5 Ian Skerrett CLA 2017-07-13 16:02:37 EDT
Sorry but the Foundation is not going to be able to work on a Photon splash screen until Jan/Feb 2018. We have other priorities that we need to focus on now.  This doesn't mean someone else from the community can't take on creating a splash screen for Photon.
Comment 6 Sravan Kumar Lakkimsetti CLA 2018-02-13 04:07:10 EST

Removing Kat and Ian from the thread; they no longer work for the Eclipse Foundation.

Adding @Stephanie & Mike who will have a definite answer.

OK, are the requirements still the same as the ones listed on the wiki? https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Updating_Branding#Splash_screen

It's also worth considering whether we'd like the splashscreen to say "Eclipse IDE" and/or "Eclipse SDK", as discussed in bug 526349.
I believe the best would be to have the same design, font, logo, colors, and just make 2 flavours: one saying "SDK" another saying "IDE". The Eclipse TLP deliverables would take the "SDK" one while the EPP would take the "IDE" one.
What do other think about it?

This wiki link is for the release engineers on guidelines for new splash screen. I normally create required bmp files from the XCF format image. What we need is splash screen in XCF format(should be able to open using GIMP). 

the specific requirements are mentioned in comment 0.

Hi All, I've created and attached two files for the new Photon splash screen. One says "Eclipse SDK" and the other says "Eclipse IDE"; they are labeled accordingly and are both SVG. files. If we need any other format, please let me know and I can easily export and add the files to the bug. 

Please review and give feedback.

Thank you, Stephanie
Comment 18 Mickael Istria CLA 2018-02-27 11:21:35 EST
The splashscreen should also include the release month/date (in an editable layer to allow us to update it for maintenance versions).
Comment 19 Mickael Istria CLA 2018-02-27 11:25:09 EST
Another comment (more a proposal than a requirement), I have the impression that the font for IDE and Photon seems not consistent with the one of "eclipse" and that the chosen font looks too "heavy" (as in carries more things than necessary, soo for example the "branches" on the E character).
Would it be possible to use the same font as "eclipse" but with a different color such as the one use by the particles of the drawing?

Once we have chosen a look, I will make all of the iterations including the release month/date. As well, I will attach an editable version for someone to make the appropriate changes.

I will make the suggested changes to compare to the current draft. As well, the font used in 'IDE' and 'Photon' is the same font used in the eclipse logo. They are just different font weights. I will make some changes to the font weights to see the difference.

Ok, I think it's the difference between upper-case and lower-case then. Can you please try with lower-case then?

I see too many differences between both fonts to have this impression. Can it be that I'm missing the font and that the SVG renders differently here? Can you please post some exported (bmp) versions of the splash too with the next set of proposals so I can check whether the font renders differently?

Hi Mickael, it seems the font was not rendering properly. I've attached a new version of the IDE. Hopefully, it is fixed now. As well, I've added 2 new versions of 'ide' and 'sdk' in color and lowercase. Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Comment 31 Stephanie Swart CLA 2018-02-28 07:03:16 EST
Ok great. Happy to hear positive feedback and it sounds like the lowercase 'sdk' and 'ide' will be the one we want to go with. So on that note, should we vote on which we'd rather have? Thanks!
Comment 32 Mickael Istria CLA 2018-02-28 07:25:17 EST
At the moment, as there is one propoal that receives much more positive feedback, I don't think a vote would be necessary.
You can post a note on the `ide-dev@eclipse.org` mailing-list to mention your proposals and maybe you'll get some more feedback.

Would it be possible to include the release date (June 2018) to see how this can integrate?

-1 to add IDE or SDK. This is the base splash screen that also other products and RCPs can use which have nothing to do with SDK or IDE. Also, using IDE would be wrong as there is an IDE package which is not the same as the Platform/SDK.

EPPs can add it if they want via bug 526349.

Please remove that. Thanks.

Are those RCPs you have in mind Eclipse.org projects? Or are you referring to the few other RCPs shipped by the Platform/SDK project?
If you're talking about non-Eclipse.org RCPs, that's actually a major branding issue that other products do receive the splash screen from SDK or IDE here. Why would the SDK make all RCP have this splash the default? As the SDK has a dedicated product definition, why would the splash defined in the SDK product leak into RCPs?
Would it make sense to keep the splash screen saying "sdk" for the SDK, and to have a non-qualified "Eclipse" splashscreen for other Platform RCPs deliveries?
 
> EPPs can add it if they want via bug 526349.
> Please remove that. Thanks.

@Kat: remove only "sdk" if Dani wants it, but please keep the one which says "ide" as part of the same work. When we're done with splash screen, I'll track its adoption in EPP in bug 526349 but I believe at the moment, it's still easier to work on both splashscreens simultaneously.

Currently there's no (special) splash screen for the SDK. I could live with such an approach but it would have to say "SDK" not "ide". I would also prefer to use "SDK" instead of "sdk".

FYI, Kat no longer works at the Foundation.

I will create a splash screen that neither references 'sdk' or 'ide'. However, I will keep the ones that include 'sdk' and 'ide' attached to this bug.

This works for us. I will update today. 

Also I would like to have splash screen in gimp(XCF) format with different layers for release name and date. 

This to modify splash screen from our end if any modifications are required. Can you please provide that?

This file was made in adobe illustrator, is there another file format you can use other than XCF?

I have access to Inkscape and Gimp. I am fine with either of them. Inkscape can work with adobe illustrator files with extension .ai. Can you pride us with that format?

I have uploaded an .ai file. Please let me know if that is sufficient. Thanks

Thanks for the Adobe illustrator file for the splash. This is is enough for our use. Resolving this bug

I'd like to derive an Eclipse IDE 2018-09 variant of this splash screen, but don't have Adobe Illustrator to do it properly.
Can someone please take care of doing it? Basically, from the "ideWithDate" variation
1. Replace "Photon" by "2018-09" and fix size/alignment
2. Remove the "June 2018" part.

We have AI available here at Obeo, I'll see with our graphist if she can do this quickly and keep you posted.

This I already created at the start of 2018-09. https://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.git/plain/platform/org.eclipse.platform/splash.bmp

May be you can use this. Or do you like to have splash as eclipse ide?

Perfect, thanks!
Would you like to submit it as a Gerrit patch set for epp? It's about replacing the packages/org.eclipse.epp.package.common/splash.bmp. If you do so, please also add the initial .ai file in the commit, as it's easier to find it there than on bugzilla.

Note that the .ai added is seen as a text file and triggers the following message from Eclipse Genie:

> This contribution is over 1000 lines of code and a CQ may be needed[1].

I assume this can be safely ignored?

Otherwise I can remove the .ai from my patch and an actual EPP commiter can add it separately.
