Eirik Bakke commented on NETBEANS-67:
-------------------------------------
The aforementioned PR is now merged. The "-splash" parameter is not actually
used anymore, since it does not appear to work with HiDPI screens at least on
Windows. Thus the splash screen is now always a java.awt.Frame.
The "-splash" feature can be reactivated for testing purposes (e.g. if someone
wants to try to make it work again) by setting the constant USE_LAUNCHER_SPLASH
in o.n.core.startup.Splash to true.
> Replace Java SplashScreen with a custom window.

> Unfortunately the Java SplashScreen feature is not well maintained. It looks
> really odd on Linux multi-monitor displays trying to arrange the screen on
> the middle of the two monitors. I think the intention of this Java feature
> was to create prompt response to the user on opening a Java application. Well
> disk and hardware get quicker and Java get leaner on load (with Java 9).
> This feature could be replaced by using a custom window instead.
> This would improve on two things:
> - Placement of the Splash Screen could be really multi-monitor aware
> - There is a flicker on startup for those who are upgrading from dev/release
> candidate to final release. The first image says developer version then it
> updates to release
> I'm trying to work something out. Though there is some chance to have some
> interference with the platform branding.
