[sword-devel] Splash Screen for The Sword Project for Windows

[David Trotz]

Great work Tim! I vote for #3 with the word "Project" and words "for
windows" being right justified. Maybe, you could play with some different
background schemes using this layout and using some of Chris' ideas for
backgrounds.
In Christ,
David
