GIMP 2.2 Splash Screen Competition
Lalakis writes "The GIMP 2.2 Splash Contest is now officially
open! Competition entries should be attached to the live.gnome.org wiki
before midnight next Sunday. Submit your work and get the glory (there may be a small prize sponsored, too)."
...could they also ditch the ghastly font the splash screen uses for "the gimp"?
Most people don't really need it, but more than 8-bit per pixel color is coming soon. Next release (2.4) will add color management capabilities and the one after that (3.0), planned for the next fall, will add higher bit depth, layer effects and pretty much everything you want (all that because of the GEGL library intergration).
