Ship it!


Besides the technical details, I think it's interesting to have the splash screen in QML, I wonder if there's much time to get it to load, but well I guess it's fine.

Graphically, I don't really have much taste, so I asked a friend whose taste I trust and he liked it :D. I'm unsure if that's helpful.
The only thing I can say is that maybe the colors don't really match the ones we usually use in KDevelop (i.e. the website and the welcome page). But well, I think that we can try it at least and figure out if we want a QML splash screen and maybe change it for another one before releasing.
