Add JabRef logo as tiff for Mac OS installer (retina support)

[Siedlerchr]

The jpackage tool has now the option to provide a tiff with high resolution for Mac OS retina
displays. JabRef should also provide a high resolution image.

Refs: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8234284

Some tutorials. It seems to be someone with a mac is required.

@Siedlerchr
if I understand correctly, you need a Tiff file with 2 images: hi res & low res. As stated in this video https://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-create-a-retina-ready-dmg-based-app-installer--cms-21653 - scroll to 4:27

Correct?

[Siedlerchr]

@Gena928 Exactly. You can find the original tiff here:

I have attached our JabRef Logo: Maybe you can integrate or design a new picture with JabRef's logo in it. That would be cool

@Siedlerchr
I have some design problems. ))) Give me a few days, I'll try to create something normal.

[Siedlerchr]

Yeah looks already good! Thanks for stepping in. Take your time. It's not a critical issue 😎

[Gena928]

@Siedlerchr
please see sample images in "All screenshots" folder: Google drive folder with samples

Any comments a highly appreciated. Design is very sensitive area, so if you think you need more options from other people, let's wait for more contributors for this issue.

[Siedlerchr]

Thank you very much for your work proposals! I pinged the other devs for a quick look.

Thanks @Gena928, they screenshots look really good. I like the "Simple with comment" the most. Some comments:

• Having the JabRef icon twice feels a bit too much. I would remove the big one at the top.
• Is it possible to make the icons at the bottom a bit larger?
• The arrow is a bit "fancy". Can you replace them with a somewhat simpler one?
• The font color and family should match the one we use in our flyers. I.e. "JABREF" should be blue, and the "To install, ..." text black. @stefan-kolb which font did you used?
  

I liked the following ones:

Without the "firefox" below the icon and with an installation note as in

[stefan-kolb]

@stefan-kolb which font did you use?

[Gena928]

@stefan-kolb
Sorry, simple "Bebas Neue" or maybe "Rounded", "by FontFabric"?

[Gena928]

Added 2 new samples:

• Simple Bebas Neue font (w bg).png
• Simple Bebas Neue font.png

[Siedlerchr]

@Gena928 Toe me the Bebas variant without a background is the best. Matches the flyer

[tobiasdiez]

Wow, that looks nice. I agree with @Siedlerchr that the Bebas layout with the white background looks the best. One small remark: I think it should be "to the Applications folder" in the description.

[Gena928]

OK, the image is updated. Source files are located in "Simple Bebas Neue font" folder.

When I created dmg install file, I used the following settings:

• JabRef & Applications icons are of 84 size (dmg file properties);
• font size of JabRef icon & Applications icon - 12 px;

Any more comments are welcome.

[tobiasdiez]

Perfect! I think you can go ahead and create the PR.

[Gena928]

PR created.
Is it OK if I attach images in PR comment as ZIP file?

[tobiasdiez]

Thanks to @Gena928 this is now implemented in the latest development version. Could you please check the build from http://builds.jabref.org/master/. Thanks! Please remember to make a backup of your library before trying-out this version.
