A splash image. Refers to that (little, or not-so-little) picture you see when the GIMP (or many other programs) starts up, and is loading. Usually, displays a loading bar of some sort. [GIMP, I believe, is one of the few programs that I know of that likes to change it's splash screen with every release, and then some.] Many versions of Windows have splash screens as well, to varying extents. Windows 9x had a little picture that flashed on, then off, then on again during boot. If you knew how, you could change it, too. Windows XP has one that fades in, and shows a little purple line scrolling across the screen (or someting like that). -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
