Draft raw images for 2.1.0 front page amazing-image-map

All of these images are in png format and none are scaled. All have the pukka yellow border for the highlighted audio track. Any of these three look much better and clearer than the previous scaled image.

Question: Connie has conflicting requirements here. On the one hand she always prefers default images (and I bascically agree with her on this) - but she also wants images that are a maximum width of 800/810. So which has higher priority?

Personally I prefer either of the first two images but can live with the third if Connie prefers size over default - I do find the third looks a little cramped compared to the other two.

Full default size 902x579 pixels

This is the size and layout that you get onscreen if you re-initialize the audacity.cfg file

Intermediate size 864x587 pixels

This image has reduced width by shrinking the width of the meter but still retaining the default layout - it's only slight non-default as the layout is default it's just that the meters are shrunk a little.

Steve 05Feb15: +1 for this version with the default layout as small as possible.
Bill 05Feb2015: +1 for this version.

Connie size 779x568 pixels

This image achieves its reduced width by moving the Transcription Toolbar and reducing the width of the meters still further. We could stretch it out a bit to the full 800 pixel width - but this size conforms to the current image width.

So it's definitely non-default - but it does conform to Connie's size - but definitely does not conform to Connie's requirement for default images

Bill 05Feb2015: +1 for this version only if width is more important than showing the default toolbar layout. Moving the transcription toolbar down one row is not a big deal for me.
