In the files dir I saw a message saying that >>they where under gimp stuff, but now are missing, only GIF avaliable. >Maybe the earlier splash images were only distributed in GIF format, but then >they moved to PPM after Burn All GIFs? Just a guess. Bad guess. Gimp splash images are PPM. Tigert converted them to GIF for the web, cos I doubt lot of browser would handle PPM. What is more, move your current splash image to a temp name and put a PPM made by you with the original name. Now that is used as splash. Gimp does not care about size (at least with sane images, <500 pixels, never tryed with mad ones). GSR
