I try to hide the logos of the instruments and equipment I use by removing them or putting tape over them.
Otherwise, I can’t concentrate on my creations, and I get distracted by associating them with brands or corporate information. I don’t need to have the history of Steinberger’s founding in my mind when I am creating a song. Otherwise, if I don’t, I will have to think about the history of Sting or even Police, which used Steinberger.
For example, defining the Renoise logo in Instrument Selector or Lower Status Bar as a fixed file name such as logo_1.svg or logo_2.png in the configuration directory and I think it would be possible to do that by reading it out.
Then the user could customize the logo.
If you use the logo as a trademark for your team, you will feel more connected and important to Renoise and to yourself and your team…
Personally, I think that software does not necessarily have to display the logo.
If you want to know more about the software, you can refer to the “About” dialog, man command, --help, the README, the developer’s website, etc.
There is no need to explicitly recognize when you are creating music.
I know this is a very difficult subject, but I would be glad if you would consider it.
I think that changing the logo is already possible. There are textured themes that also change the logos. You can change it or delete it. There is surely more information on the forums.
You should probably just change the images in the folders where the logos are located to ones with the same specifications. This is a bit of hacking. I don’t see anything wrong with software displaying a logo that represents the name of the program. When I see the Renoise logo, I think of the software, not a company.
But yeah, I seem to remember seeing some anime image instead of the instrument box logo on a textured theme. The level of customization is certainly interesting!
By the way, the “renoise” logo at the bottom is functional. It’s a shortcut to the welcome window, with several login options.
@esaruoho I opened all the *.pngs and none were there.
The *.bmp is probably not, since it is only Tools/Icons/Textures related.
This is a complete guess, but I suspect it is embedded in the executable /usr/bin/renoise or something similar.
