IMHO the look of the Welcome page is not nice.

The Eclipse logo in the top left is dark on a similar color and the Workbenchicon is also misaligned. Also "Workbench" should be named to a better thing.

The eclipse logo is coming from the branding.
Comment 2 Lars Vogel CLA 2020-05-19 09:41:03 EDT
What about the weird misalligned "Workbench" button? Can we allign it and give it a better label?
Comment 3 Alexander Kurtakov CLA 2020-05-22 10:01:06 EDT
Remove target milestone. A bit late for 4.16 now.

The icon in the welcome page no is sharp and crisp
Comment 9 Mickael Istria CLA 2020-06-04 05:07:54 EDT
The icons (and the text) should probably say Eclipse IDE. But we can cover it in another bug.
By the way, I also plan to remove the welcome page from the JavaScript and Rust package at some point. I'll open a bug about it.

This is different in the different product definitions. This screennshot was taken with the platform.ide product.
