Gnus logo colors

Hi,

Emacs 21 can display images as well as XEmacs does.  Gnus displays
logo on the startup screen, and the color for Emacs 21 is the default
value of gnus.xpm now.  It was used by September Gnus, then I don't
agree to use it for Gnus 5.8.8.

So I proposed to use `dino', same as XEmacs, for Emacs 21, but Dave
Love said "The suggested colours blended in to a black background
worse than the image's own".  He is correct, because `dino' is dark.
However I choose it for Gnus default color, because XEmacs has used it
for a long time and users can customize the color.  How about it?

I could not agree that the color of Emacs 21 is not same with XEmacs.

Gnus logo colors

[luis fernandes]

It seems logical that Emacs and XEmacs Gnus have identical splash
colour schemes; the colour scheme of the XEmacs logo will be whatever
the Emacs one is (ex cathedra decision).

The choice of the Emacs colour-scheme can be put to vote on this
list.

Could you send me a copy of the logo xpm file that is used on the
splash (I can't seem to find a 2-tone image of the logo anywhere);
I'll see if I can come up with a suitable logo colour scheme for
Emacs 21 Gnus.

Well, we must be sure it looks like a Pterodactyl, right?  So, what
do those creatures look like?  Dino-brown?

No, bluish-purple.

And also the colour scheme of the Emacs logo should be whatever the
XEmacs one is.

It seems better that the color is decided by the grand author.
However if he is out, it ought not to be changed.

It is available from ftp://quimby.gnus.org/pub/gnus/etc-0.27.tar.gz.
The default colors of the file gnus.xpm is `september', then apply the
following patch to make it to be shown as `dino'.
