Hello Ivan, sorry for d-lay. Thanks for the input. Well, I do not know how to post them. Although I registered and have access to some pages, possibly my own, once in my pages, and inside, when I try to do certain operations, it asks me for an ID and password, I introduce them, and then it does not approve them, so I don't know what is wrong.
About the Screen, I had more or less some of the same feelings, doubts about the map, and much moree about the bottom wire frame too - being first one and feedback wanted to see several treactions to different element to see maybe a general ile to follow... therefore I was trying more things, but some myself had also had very much doubts. Do you mean the dark colors of the fonts? or in general. I do not use a MAC,
and although I have used some else’s on several occasions I am not aware of what might be considered a Mac: ish look (maybe you could elaborate if you have time).Anyway, I can post something, this or other versions considering your comments and mt doubts when I know how to, and I understand why, despite having registered and followed the steps required, it still is denying me access to some things and recognition?
Best regards and thank you for feed back and info. I you or anyone can maybe indicate to me what might be the ID password trouble plus how to post, I will be very grateful.

Hi Santiago,
From http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html:
Please do not send attachments with your message, as they add to the
bandwidth burden we must all deal with. OpenOffice.org features
several other avenues for persons interested in submitting
attachments. Check with your project lead or send a message to
webmasters@... to find out which would be best for you.
Next time, please add your design to the wiki page
(http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Splash_Screen/Proposals
... you will need to register first) and include a link in you email
instead of attaching the image (if you're not familiar with this kind
of procedure, please let me know)
That said, here are my thoughts:
These look much better and more lively than the ones that are
currently being used! (Although I do like the rounded bottom edges
Paul introduced). The two color approach with the gulls is also
interesting. I don't like the dark colors and the globe motif is a
cliche - it has been overused too many times in too many
applications/websites. IMO, we should stick to design elements that
are unique to OpenOffice.org. The other impression this made on me was
that it looked very Mac-ish with the horizontal lines. Overall, I
would have to say that I don't like it, but let's see what others say.
Don't start animating anything just yet - the splash screen will
probably be static. However, maybe something could be done for the
OpenOffice.org 3 CDs - maybe an autorun with a little animation?...
just an idea...
- Ivan.
