Another idea would be to design the dialog in a way that it can use a rotation of images.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 7:47 AM, Kevin W Eliceiri <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:eliceiri@wisc.edu">eliceiri@wisc.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
These are great ideas, and we will definitely explore having some sort of rotating image to best represent the diverse use of the community. I really like that. However that will happen later after ImageJ2 is released as non-beta and hardened in regular use. At this point we just need a few images to put in there as a place holder for the first release.<br>
