Description Thomas Preisler 2010-01-04 14:55:50 UTC

The center image in the welcome screen has a (colorful) background image and the images 'NetBeansIDE' and '6.8' on top. These images cannot no longer be branded, as far as I can see.

We used to use branding to change the center image to an image wit our product name and product version but this no longer works in 6.8. The logo image is also now a hyperlink that (as far as I can see) is a hard-coded link to NetBeans. This needs to be brandable as well.

Localization is using the same technique as branding so I guess these issues apply to localization as well (if anyone wants to localize the link for instance).

Comment 1 Thomas Preisler 2010-01-04 15:04:13 UTC

We would like this fixed as a patch to 6.8 as we will base our product (Sun Studio) on NB 6.8 + patches.

Comment 5 Thomas Preisler 2010-02-04 15:48:57 UTC

Fix is not yet in release68_fixes. What's the status on this?

Comment 6 rbalada 2010-03-08 10:08:51 UTC

Thomas,

current status is, that it has not been backported yet.

Tomasi,

would you please attach branding/localization jar file you used for verification testing?

My past experience as build engineer tells me to be cautious as this patch does not seem to make it to conform my memories about branding&localization procedures. But I can be wrong here.
To be on safe harbor, I would say you should externalize the string with image identifier into Bundle.properties too.

Comment 7 pgebauer 2010-03-15 16:32:27 UTC

The fix has been ported into the release68_fixes branch.
