Hello! If you want to contrubute images for sodipodi about dialog, you are welcome :-) Since the switch to SVG about dialog, there has been constant lack of good images. Another alternative woul dbe to scrap SVG about dialog completely, and implement std. Gtk+ one, as you suggested. Nowadays, when everyone is turning SVG, SVG about dialog is not anything that distinguishes sodipodi from masses anymore anyways... Speaking about anarchist flag... Sodipodi has decided to remain independent in the world of integrating and commercializing desktops - and got punished because of that. I think it deserves the right to hold high the black flag of anarchy :-) Best wishes, Lauris Kaplinski -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of John Stracke Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 4:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Sodipodi-list] nazi flag ?

If you want to talk about people being shocked by images, I was somewhat shocked when I found that 0.34's "About Sodipodi" dialog was just the anarchist logo. Could we fix that, please? If nothing else, it'd be more useful to have a more typical dialog, with a URL and a copyright notice. (I don't want to get into a political argument about the merits of anarchy, mind you. Just let it stand that I understand that anarchists are pro-liberty, and that's good; I just don't think anarchy is a practical way to achieve liberty.) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
