Amadeus:
what do you mean exactly "pixilsplash.gif should be a blend between
the PIXIL cube and the DSLINUX penguin" ?
when the pixil start, the pixil desktop is too compact to put the
penguin on it. the icons are right over the "PIXIL" and the cube of
the background.
will left-up corner or right-up corner be ok?
