Designer Pro X - Splash screen...

[Rik]

Thanks for your comments, Larry.

Here's another, with sightly altered 'DP'.

Hi Rik,

I personally think the 'gray' splash screen is very clever. Great design.

Thanks for your comments, Ed.

Even though I like the one in Post #11, the Grey one is still the one that I have on my system!

I may change my mind though!

Very creative, Rik.

Thanks for your comment, grey.
I like doing that kind of stuff.

Haven't seen you here for ages.
Where have you been hiding?

I like those splashscreens, but how do I apply one in DPX ? I tried replacing the splashscreen.bmp in the bitmaps folder, while renaming the original one. However, when I start DPX, I still get the original splashscreen.

Guy go to the Xara folder and select your program and open that folder, open bitmaps folder and rename the splashscreen to something else then put your new splash screen there and name it splashscreen. You can make your own, I did and I like it.

That's exactly what I did Larry, and I kept getting the original screen at startup, even after rebooting... Looking again, I noticed I called it splashsreen (with a c missing...). It's ok now. Thanks.

ah, the trouble these tipos cause

sadly that sounds like removing the file will not supress the splash completely - ah well...

One difference I have noticed in v8, is that the splashscreen goes off as soon as the main screen of the programme loads.
In v7, the splashscreen used to remain on the screen, until the programme had finished loading completely.
