The GIMP Splash 5 Adobe Style

This is a splashscreen I made, which is inspired by the loading screens from Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
I chose this color, because it looks a bit like the original GIMP color [from the GIMP logo].

I hope you like it! :D

You can find the matching icon here: The GIMP Icon: CS4 Style.

Notes:
-This splash screen has been made with The GIMP.
-The copyrights credits are taken from the About The GIMP infobox.

I'm glad to hear you like them!
To change the splash screen you go to:
Windows: Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\images\
Mac: /Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/share/gimp/2.0/images/
and just replace the splash png file there :) (I'm not sure what the name is)

You know, you can just open the ico file in GIMP :P and save the layers as PNG (remove the layers you don't want, resize image to layers, save, done!) :)

Weird, and no problem ;) I uploaded the PNG's here: [link]
You'll have to figure out the sizes yourself, because I didn't give them nice names :P (I just used Photoshop to export all layers to PNG, hehe)

Well, actually, I've been using Photoshop for a very long while now, even this splash is made in Photoshop hahaha (the irony :P ), but not on a level you see other users here use Photoshop. I also like to use Illustrator a lot, because of the great usability and ofcourse, the vector graphics :D
In the past I've done a lot of work with The GIMP, and I'm pretty sure it makes no difference at all which program you use, for the results you get. It's just that Photoshop makes the process a lot easier and quicker than GIMP. :P
I however still use The GIMP every now and then though, but for a few very simple functions: Color To Alpha (I love that filter hehe), for putting black and white images as a mask on layers and for editing small GIFs. But besides those few things, I don't really use GIMP anymore. Though I like to keep all my programs looking the same, so I make icons and splash screens for GIMP aswell. (but.... I probably won't be doing that anymore, as I switched to OSX recently and now don't have a start menu anymore, so the different icon doesnt really bother me anymore...)

You?

Btw, what a long post, haha
