New Welcome Screen

NetBeans 6.0 is/will be a new release so a new welcome screen is needed. I committed the source files to CVS today so tomorrow's nightly build should welcome screen looking like this:


I really like the new design - the graphics are much more lightweight, there's lot more information. The content is also divided into two parts - for first time users with getting started, tutorials and sample projects. And for returning users with useful blogs, NetBeans news and recent projects.

Hopefully less users will tick the Show On Startup checkbox off in NetBeans 6.0 ...:)

Awesome! Way too cool... <br>
A small typo in your screen shot... The title of the section should be "News and Tutorials" and not "News and Tuttorials".
