Description:
This splash screen uses the BitStream Vera Sans font and the Crystal icons.

It has a clear background so it is more usable across a variety of background colors.
Last changelog:

Version 0.2

I removed translucency from splash_bottom.png so that the text doesn't shine through it.

Many thanks to xgecko for catching that.

penguin. Penguin is a nice animal to put in the spash, but in the lower right corner, a little big. Maybe a cameleon would be the animal, the debian symbol o the red hat guy. What about make some versions, one each with his logo?

Ok, here is the deal. I'll be happy to customize versions for anyone who asks. If you point me to a PNG of your favorite Linux or BSD flavour icon I'll make CrystalClear revisions.

There seems to be a transparency problem with the text. All text shows through and the current text is slightly stronger.

I am not quite sure I understand. Would it be possible to show me a screenshot of what you mean?

I just tested the splash screen again. I see the problem. For those who care it is a problem of having a semi-transparent grey bar on the bottom. I'll upload version 0.2 with a solid grey bar soon. Thanks for the tip.

xgecko, You'll be happy to know that version 0.2 fixes the text peeking through problem.

It's a nice k-splash screen, but it's a bit empty, but i think it was your target. Thanks.

steamedpenguin

Thank you. Yes it is a bit on the empty side. I thought about adding some graphics to it. Maybe a Red Hat for RHL users, or the Debian swirl for us Debianites, and I still may. In general I think it is best that it focuses on KDE not on the kernel. I am always open to listening to suggestions people have.
