Added welcome screen

[Trial97]

fixes #827

[IntM4rco]

A little too rough, it should be improved aesthetically in my opinion, but it is still a nice addition.
In my opinion it would be better if the background is not so contrasting and the text is a bit smaller.
Also I would put the launcher logo at the top instead of that ( i ).
(Personal opinion of a regular user :P)

[TheKodeToad]

Personally I'd just have "No instances :("
Maybe too vague though lol

[Trial97]

Yes I know is a crude implementation(is hard to paint with code).
The background stuff is because of the theme.
The size of the text and the text itself can be updated.
The current implementation reflects what I found in the mentioned issue.

Oh, that's very ironic as this is literally based on my mockup 🤦‍♀️

[TheKodeToad]

Idk. I think I find the icon weird 😵‍💫

[Trial97]

Removed Icon and made text smaller

[HyperSoop]

Why is the background solid black? The contrast is definitely too much.

[TheKodeToad]

It's the theme

[HyperSoop]

This text doesn't actually tell one what they need to do to add an instance, so it's kind of useless

Right now I'm open to any suggestions, if you can provide a better language for that or a mockup of how the page should look like I would try to implement it

[HyperSoop]

Maybe something like "Right click anywhere to create an instance.". The text should be only a little bit lighter than the background, just enough so to be visible. It should also be vertically centered.

There's a fairly obvious button. Also lowering contrast is a bad idea imo.

[HyperSoop]

This text is supposed to be a subtle hint, not a screaming reminder. In all software such a text is present, it doesn't contrast so much with the background it's on. Making it so big and so bright would be a definite UX issue.

[TheKodeToad]

i don't think so. since it's only visible with no instances, it has no effect on useability.

if you take clion as an example, there's no dimming in the default dark mode

I feel like making the text harder to read on purpose is not a good idea lol

[Trial97]

Also please note this screen will be visible only if the number of instances is zero.
And the contrast is from the theme I use.

[TheKodeToad]

I just remembered this. maybe it can be improved in the future though

[DioEgizio]

i think this is more useful.

also i think it's too big and the text should be smaller

[DioEgizio]

i didn't add that to the review. oops

[DioEgizio]

looks kinda bad but better than not having anything ig

[TayouVR]

considering how annoying it is to work within this code, LGTM

(whenever we revamp the instanceview fully (#30) maybe this could get changed to look nicer, be centered vertically, etc.)
