Syncthing-android: Initial splash screen should be switched to vector image

Created on 8 Dec 2018  路  7Comments  路  Source: syncthing/syncthing-android

Images on the initial Synching setup screen appear digitized and out-of-place on a higher resolution screen.
Please switch these images to a vector base, therefore the image can appear smooth regardless of screen size and resolution.

Like to file a PR?

Like an SVG

In the past tried to put one and studio complained it's not compatible back to API 16 we use :/

@Catfriend1 maybe you can add a fallback for that? Or just add a higher resolution png instead?

The svg solution would be great to put on the todo list when the API level will be raised in the future. Don't know when this makes sense. I'm currently testing different layouts and trying to get it look fine on TV.

Let's go with a higher-res PNG or TIFF for now, if the SVG option won't work.
The splash screen is a very important detail, IMO, as this is some of the first action of the program the user experiences, and if it doesn't look polished, that's a big detractor.
