Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 101033
Splash Screen in OOo3 uses mimetype icon color scheme from OOo2
Last modified: 2013-01-29 21:49:39 UTC
The OOo3 splash screen has been designed using the color scheme from OpenOffice.org 2. Especially the Base color has changed from a more browner red to a dark purple (see URL field) If you look at the comparison of the present splash screen and about box with a version containing the new colors you see what I mean. I added the SVG basis and the corresponding files with Sun logo to the wiki: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Image:Ooo3_splashscreen_final_with_version_and_colorscheme.svg http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Image:Ooo3_splashscreen_version_colorscheme.png http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Image:Ooo3_aboutbox_version_colorscheme.png Best regards Bernhard

The Art Project is working on that topic at the wiki: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Artist_Sandbox Please have a look at this page when you accept this issue.
@STS: I don't understand what's wrong there. any idea?
@es (sorry, I'm not sts): The colors of the mimetype icons have been (slightly, but noticeable) modified between OOo2 and OOo3. If you have a look at the Base color, you will see, that it is more darker and reddish than before. Stella provided a comparison at the wiki: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/MimeType_Icons The artist who created the winning splash screen didn't know that and used the OOo2 colors for the dots at the right part of the splash screen. As they are meant as reference for the OOo applications, they should use the OOo3 color scheme. There has been a lengthy thread about that topic on the Art Project mailing list: http://marketing.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=art&by=thread&from=2218250 Best regards Bernhard PS: The files attached to this issue are outdated already, the actual versions are uploaded to the wiki: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/images/0/0e/Ooo3_splashscreen_version_colorscheme.png http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/images/1/1f/Ooo3_aboutbox_version_colorscheme.png http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/images/5/52/Ooo3_installer_version_colorscheme.png (Installer didn't contain those dots at all)
@bedipp: that's why I reassigned to Stella (STS) so that she can have a look at it.
