Description: Right, after a long time of having no official Lila/KDE splash screen we're back on the scene again. ("We", that is the Lila project. As the current maintainer of the lila-kde icon set, I just use my special maintainer powers to make this splash the official one.)
It may not be the most perfect splash there is, but I did my best to make it appealing to the eye, conforming to the Lila specification, distro independent and what not.
If you want to do better, you can get the SVG source from the Lila Subversion repository and modify it by yourself. There's even a small KDE splash screen creation howto there if you don't know what to do.Last changelog:
2005/12/22
This splash is new, so no changes here. The splash screen contained in early lila-kde releases is now officially replaced and splash screens are generally decoupled from the lila-kde icon theme.
Yeah, maybe a top-section logo would be a cool idea. However, I browsed all the Lila icons to see if I can find one that fits, and I didn't. The KDE Logo wouldn't be such a bad idea, but it's already used as rightmost flashing icon, I don't want to duplicate it.
We really lack a Lila logo. Any other good ideas which icon to place there?
Yeah you're right, duplicating the logo's probably not the best of ideas. It's just that when I first saw the splash, the top section seemed sort of "empty" to me. Maybe just some playfull white text like "KDE" or "KDesktop Environment", sort of following the curves of the background, would look nice?

I have created an ebuild for Gentoo. It can be found at the download page of the lila-theme homepage.
Nice work! I very much like the style, colors, and icons. Wouldn't it be nice to put something in the top-section, like a kde-logo?
