**When:** Before every M1

The splash screen needs to be an (approximately) 450x300 pixels .bmp file, 24-bits RGB (maybe other depth work too, but it's not tested), **without color space information** (some SWT bug). To produce it, if the initial splash screens aren't of that form (they're usually .jpg files), open the desired splash screen variation file from the `org.eclipse.epp.package.common/splash/` folder in Gimp, resize it to approximately 450x300 with _Image > Scale_, then set DPI to 72 with _Image > Print Size_, then _File > Export_ it: choose the location `org.eclipse.epp.package.common/splash.bmp` press _Save_, and in the Export options, tick _Compatibility Options > Do not write color space information_. Apply.
The splash screen needs to be an (approximately) 450x300 pixels .bmp file, 24-bits RGB (maybe other depth work too, but it's not tested), **without color space information** (some SWT bug), and 72 DPI (so it draws the correct size on macOS).

To produce it, if the initial splash screens aren't of that form (they're usually .jpg files), open the desired splash screen variation file from the `org.eclipse.epp.package.common/splash/` folder in Gimp:

- [ ] resize it to approximately 450x300 with _Image > Scale_
- [ ] then set DPI to 72 with _Image > Print Size_
- [ ] then _File > Export_ it: choose the location `org.eclipse.epp.package.common/splash.bmp` press _Save_,
- [ ] and in the Export options, tick _Compatibility Options > Do not write color space information_.
- [ ] Apply.

Repeat process, but for About dialog image which exists in each EPP package as `packages/org.eclipse.epp.package.*/eclipse_lg.png` (approx 115 x 302) and `packages/org.eclipse.epp.package.*/[email protected]` (2x other image, approx 230 x 604).
