I know this is Java and not Delphi, but here is an example showing how I code a splash screen (obviously, in a real application, I'd do initialization work while the splash screen was displayed, and not just sleep for 2 seconds): /** Splash.java * Show splash screen * @author Greg Woodhouse */ //package triton; import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; public class SplashScreen extends JWindow {   public SplashScreen() {       JPanel content = (JPanel)getContentPane();         //Center the window     int width = 400;     int height = 350;     Dimension screen = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();     int x = (screen.width - width)/2;     int y = (screen.height - height)/2;     setBounds(x, y, width, height);     //Build the splash screen         content.setLayout(new BorderLayout());     JLabel logo = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("Triton.png"));         JPanel logoPane = new JPanel();         logoPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());         logoPane.add(logo, BorderLayout.CENTER);         //Use separate panels to simplify layout         JPanel infoPane = new JPanel();         JTextArea info = new JTextArea("Triton\n" + "version 0.1\n\n"         + "This version is a prototype only.");         info.setEditable(false);         //Use the same background as the container         info.setBackground(content.getBackground());         infoPane.add(info);     content.add(logoPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);         content.add(infoPane, BorderLayout.SOUTH); }   public void showSplash() {     setVisible(true);   }     public void hideSplash() {     setVisible(false);   } } and here is code from the main class that displays the splash screen public static void main(String argv[]) {          SplashScreen splash = new SplashScreen();          splash.showSplash();          //Do setup work here      Triton frame = new Triton();          //wait 2 seconds          try {                  Thread.sleep(2000);          } catch (Exception ex) { }          splash.hideSplash();          splash = null; //no longer needed          //use EXIT_ON_CLOSE to allow user to quit application by closing window      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);      frame.setSize(760,500);      frame.setVisible(true);    } === Gregory Woodhouse [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Nothing is as powerful than an idea  whose time has come." -- Victor Hugo
