Development splash smoothing

Development splash smoothing

[Adam Sjøgren]

The splash screen in the development version has nice cautionary colours
- created by taking the .xpm version of the logo and adjusting the
colours:

 * http://koldfront.dk/misc/gnus/before.png

As can be seen, the .xpm version of the logo isn't quite as smooth as
the .svg version.

Ever so slightly annoying.

If you are like me, you'd like nice drawings even - or perhaps
especially - when you are on the bleeding edge.

I figured that ought to be possible to hack around - .svg is a text
format, after all...

So, here is a patch, hobbled together using Google and guessing. A lot.

It does make the splash screen look nicer, though:

 * http://koldfront.dk/misc/gnus/after.png

And the colours are replaced. Woo.

Let me know what you think, and please don't hesitate to tear my elisp
apart. I have no idea what I am doing.

  Best regards,

     Adam


[PATCH] Use the svg logo if present, and replace colors in it.

 * gnus.el (gnus-group-startup-message): Prefer svg file and replace colors.
   (gnus-splash-svg-color-symbols): New function.

Thanks! My number of lines/hour is really, really low, though :-)

Good catch; I had some more in there earlier but removed (some) of it.


   Thanks!

Yes, but I hesitate to use it until/unless I feel confident that the
change should go in.

Okidoke.  But things can be reverted if it turns out to be a mistake.
