Every version has a philosopher's name, so before releasing, a new splash screen should be generated. To do that, follow this steps.

Fonts you should install

We will work with Gotham Rounded, the official font for Wollok, so you should install it from this URL.

Using any other font like serif fonts could result in rough differences between the word "Wollok" and the other paragraphs so there is a strong recommendation of keeping all the fonts the same.

Base splash screen

The base splash screen can be found at org.uqbar.project.wollok.ui project, file splash_template_base.xcf. You should open it with Gimp or any other tool that supports this type of layered image.

Saving Splash screen

When you save the splash, in order to avoid addressing this issue and also this, you have to

  • use 24 bits (8R 8G 8B)
  • uncheckong Color save (Gimp options by default is to check this configuration)
  • save in png format

If you see Splash screen doesn't appear on Windows operating system, and a weird red background color in Linux, surely you are not following this advice.
