Standardize welcome pattern for file-based apps
There's a pretty large number of apps where the initial state looks something like this (though implementations vary):
- Status page with app icon and welcome message
- Open one or more files (or folders)
- Drag and drop files to the window to open
Some of the affected apps:
- Amberol
- Curtail
- Collision
- Upscaler
- Webfont Kit Generator
- Paper Clip
- Oh My SVG
- Ear Tag
- Conjure
- Converter
- Letterpress
- Impression
I feel like this is common enough that we should have some guidlines or maybe even widgets for this use case. Some questions/inconsistencies between various implementations:
- Flat headerbar?
- Title in headerbar?
- Column width for the description?
- Hicolor or symbolic icon?
- App name? Where?
- How to show drag and drop
- Icon or no icon on the Open button? What label?
