Ah, first time when I send attachment and this forgets text what I typed...
But I write it again...

The original text is white text, black 0.1pt outline with black shadow. This
was for dark/light themes. Problem was that the SVG -> PNG renders the black
outline little too strong. So the contrast was too great. On darker theme the
text was fine. Now it is changed, as you can see on the earlier attachment, to
almost middlegray, (litte lighter) without outline and shadow. Font is still
same "Liberation Sans" as on splash and elsewhere. 

The logo itself is link to digikam.org site, and on this test I typed the
address there so people will understand where it goes.

This text has one problem, it takes space on small screens (netbooks). But, the
icon itself has important meaning to be used as "working" icon in future.
Currently the logo circles (lightment does not work right as you can see) when
you download photos from camera etc. One of the idea is to make text go round
(in X axis) as 3D text (need to be modeled and rendered possible MNG image) or
text what lights or other small effect with the lens, when downloading photos
etc. Gilles need to choose something to that ;-)

But I think that link is important in a way, because if you can find the
gerhard maded PDF documentation etc from the site. 

When comparing this to Adobe Photoshop etc. What has the link to Adobe site on
the top of the toolbox, this is not in such place that you can accidental hit
it with mouse.
