Inkscape

@m1981 Thank you for your entry...

You have 4 changes to make;

1. Remove the "v" from 1.1

2. Remove "www." from inkscape.org

3. Remove your Logo, you are permitted to use "your name, signature, or online handle". Please confine your signature/handle to a text based version.

4. Remove extra shapes outside the template area

@Tim Jones I just did the updates.

The 4th point was a bit problematic.
The 2 shapes outside the canvas are the originals for cloned patterns. It's the easiest way I found to control and apply dynamically some minor modifications on these patterns defs, such as color or stroke properties.

The original can be moved without consequence, but resizing it has a negative impact on the cloned pattern.
I moved the originals on a separate layer within the template area and reworked them on the cloned ones.

@m1981

Please remove your "Pattern Stock" layer. We do not need it. You can retain the "Master" SVG.

The SVG is loaded in real time when the About Screen is called by a user. Extra content slows down the loading time. ;-)

If the Pattern itself could be simplified, I think that would greatly reduce loading time.
Don't clip, cut, and combine all items into a single path. Generally, reducing complexity will help speed this up.
I haven't seen removal of the layer causing any issues.

@Maren Hachmann, You're right, Inkscape is pretty robust regarding pattern management. Even original deletion doesn't affect cloned patterns.

Pattern complexity is part of the game. It's one thing I specially love with Inkscape : it can handle complexity growth also on average-power machines.
