New Splash Screen
According to Bug 194291, Mozilla will soon have a new splash screen. No more green lizard everyone love/hates. From the bug description:
It is possible that this bug will receive a certain amount of attention. Before you comment here, listen carefully: This is not bug 32218. There will be no discussion of which of the many available splash screens is "best". Please do not attach other screens to this bug, or comment with URL locations. This screen is what we are having. It remains possible to install your own splash screen if you are the sort of person who has too much time and needs to get out more.
Here's the BMP of the final revision of the new splash screen. Note: the BMP loads in Mozilla, but in Phoenix 0.5, I get the error message "The image cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
Update: here's a link to the PNG version of the splash screen.

I get the same error msg with yesterday's OS X mozilla build :/
that splash screen isnt something youd print out and hang on your wall like a piece of art but at least its clean and professional - exactly what was needed.
*Yawn* I don't like splash screens anyway, though.
Could somebody please post a png/gif/jpg?
It seems a bit... "plain". I realize that it's supposed to be professional and all, but it still seems a bit sparse.
Is that it? It aint much, but it's an improvement.
May I suggest adding the build # to the splash?
Nothing more, nothing less . . . just a thought.
I've got just one word for that new splash screen: boring
(I think the lizard's kinda cute.)
I get the error in Mozilla 1.2.1 in OS X.
Eh, I had to use IE6 to see the fucker, my Mozilla 1.3a just wasn't good enough!
Seriously, who designed that splash screen ? Better nothing than that.
Use http://daniel.glazman.free.fr/logomoz.gif and put the Mozilla name below.
here's a link to the PNG version of the splash screen.
professional?
I prefer this one
ok, this is weak. there are about 1000 times better looking splash screens available. A lot of them look more professional than this. this is so weak. shame on the guy who decided this.
As I understand it, it's not meant to be pretty, or even to look better than the previous one. It's just meant to replace a file which had legal problems.
It's not professional, it's boring as Hell. No professional splash would misuse that much space with such a hideous orange color. Christ, they could at least have used the logo from Mozilla.org. I agree with a previous poster: I'd rather have no splash at all than something that boring.
Blame that responsability to... Gervase Markham gerv@mozilla.org
Look at the icons, the default theme, the new spashscreen... those people have no brain, no interest or ... ?
That splash sucks.
Too plain. I also think adding the build number would be nice.
why so big when the content is just in the middle. It should be smaller.
I don't like the way its been phrased as "this is the way it is, hard luck if you dont like it". we all care about how mozilla looks to potential new mozilla users and I dont think this is much or any progress from the last splash screen.
eeewww.
Better no splash than that one.
FOWL
This orange apparatus is enough to turn a new user off to a fine product, a problem made much more embarassing by the fact that so many excellent entries were proposed. What internal politics led to the selection of this "professional" splash among so many superior applicants?
How do I get rid of this?
