Looking for a Splash screen for desktop login

Thats it, I have been looking for a splash screen application that can make a splash appear since my login begins with SLIM and that disappears once all startup applications have been loaded.
I tried plymouth, but I think it cannot be used for this purpose.
Any recommendation for this? Thanks.

Do you mean you want a splash screen from the time when you complete logging in with Slim to the time the desktop has finished loading? If that is taking more than just a few seconds then I suggest you change desktops to something lighterweight. Mine takes about 2 seconds (wmii) - not even enough time for a splash scree!. Are you using KDE or Gnome because I believe you can set a startup splash with both those DE's . Check their documentation. Also, show us your ~/.xinitrc .

Drop Shadow for Windows Splash Screen

Hi,
I need to create a splash screen for a client who is a Windows software developer.
I'm working on a Mac with Photoshop CS3.
It's simple enough given that I just have to create a 320x240 image and send it over to them.
However what I'd like to do is add a drop shadow to the graphic which shows up with transparency when the splash screen appears on the Windows desktop.
Any clues?
Thanks.

With what technology is the developer working? . . . Pass.
What file formats can they accept? . . . I'll give PNG24 a go on a dummy graphic and ask them to try it.
Thanks.
Bob.

Bluetooth keyboard not working when prompted for wifi splash screen io7

I just upgraded to IO7 on my ipad and I use the apple bluetooth keyboard. However, when the WiFi splash screen appear to login using say Cisco's login the keyboard does not work. Meaning it does not accept keystrokes. Because the keyboard is paired there is no way to show the normal onscreen keyboard unless you unpair.
My work around has been to dismiss the splash screen and open up safari then try to hit a website which then produces the splash screen within the browser. Then I'm able to use the keyboard again. Anyone had the same issue and is there a work around as this is highly annoying.

Thank for showing interest in my situation and trying to answer, however yes...
FROM ABOVE: "Attempting to repair the keyboard accomplished nothing, however I did learn that when prompted to enter the bluetooth 4 digit code for pairing the keyboard was able to send the 4 numerical digits and striking the return key did succesfully pair the keyboard to the iPad again."
I'm going to try "Forgetting the Device", turning off the Bluetooth Keyboard, Turning off the iPad 2 iOS7, Turning the iPad 2 iOS7 back on, Turning the Bluetooth Keyboard back on, then setting it up via the Bluetooth menu again. Doubt turning off the iPad will accomplish much, but it will be good to have it scratched off the list.

hi there, check a look at this code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Splash implements Runnable, mainInterface{
private String initMsg;
public Splash(String initMsg) {
this.initMsg = initMsg;
public void run() {
splashWindow.getContentPane().add(l, BorderLayout.CENTER);
splashWindow.pack();
splashWindow.setSize(splashWindow.getSize().width, splashWindow.getSize().height);
splashWindow.setLocation(dim.width/2 - splashWindow.getWidth() /2,dim.height/2 -
splashWindow.getHeight()/2);
splashWindow.toFront();
splashWindow.show(); }
public JWindow getWindow()
return splashWindow;
}add this code to the main file
private static void splash()
          th.start(); // I sleep to let the thread startup and display the window
               while (splash3.getWindow() == null || !splash3.getWindow().isShowing())
                    try {
                         Thread.sleep(2000);
                    catch (InterruptedException e){}

Excel 2013 stalling at splash screen for files in use by others

Excel 2013 is stalling (and not opening) when trying to open a file that is in use by another user. In office 2010 it would prompt the user to open in read-only mode, but in 2013 it seems to just stall and never open. It just stays on the splash screen
for ever. We have done some testing and it appears that double clicking on an excel file causes this to occur, but will function correctly if the file is opened through excel's file browser. Any suggestions on how to fix this? It's a pain to make
all the users open excel first, then browse through a lengthy network location. Thanks in advance!
For information purposes: these are files on a network location shared by many users.

Hi,
Did the issue occur when you just installed the Office 2013 or after using Office 2013 sometimes? I recommend we try the following methods and test to check if they are helpful.
1. Click the File tab>Options>Advanced>scroll down to the General section>Clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) check box in the General area.
2. Install the latest Cumulative Update for Excel
3. Right click on the Start Button>Click 'Open Windows Explorer'> click Organize > Layout> Uncheck Details Pane and Preview Pane.
On a Windows menu, click on Tools > Folder Options. In the box that opens up, click on the View tab. Scroll down the list to “Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items” and clear the checkbox and then click OK.
4. Check/Disable the Excel add-ins
5. Repair Office.
Hope it's helpful.
Regards,
George Zhao

Lightroom won't boot -I only get the splash screen for a second.

I do have the photographers version of the Creative Cloud which included Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom. Everything was working just fine until I upgraded to Lightroom version 5.6. Now when I try to load LR, the slash screen shows for a second then disappears and LR does not load. This occurs on both my Mac (a Mac Pro and a iMac). I uninstalled LR and had creative cloud reinstall but still the same thing is happening - Splash screen for a second then nothing. Again, this is happening on both Mac's. Photoshop CC 2014 I working just fine.
Before I call Adobe, any ideas here on this issue. BTW, Creative Cloud App states LR in up to date and installed.
Thanks

Getting increasingly frequent system shutdown with appearance of the apple splash screen for several minutes then back to logon in the middle of using a variety of APPs or just walking on Safari.

Using an IPAD 2 running 5.0.1 is frequently shutting down in the middle of a variety of Apps and showing the Apple splash screen for several minutes. This happens occasionally at inopportune times. Once the splash screen clears it goes back to the logon screen and the App that was open is closed. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a resolution?

I don't think that there is ever a good time for this to occur.
What do you mean the Apple splash screen? You see the Apple logo on the screen?
It appears as though your apps are crashing. Have you tried quitting apps and restarting? Reset the iPad?
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Creating a splash screen for your app.

Im trying to create a splash screen for my app but im not too sure how it's done.
Im using the following piece of code.
public static void main(String[] args)
          JPanel display = new JPanel();
          display.setPreferredSize(new Dimension( (300), (200) ));
          display.setBackground(Color.white);
               // I WILL PUT AN IMAGE ICON ON A JLABEL HERE
          display.setVisible(true);
               // I WILL NEED A DELAY HERE
          test.instance();
}The problem I am having is that the JPanel is not being displayed. I will also need a way to create a delay, I know that I can't just use Thread.sleep(5000); because the JPanel will require the thread to be running in order to display the panel.
Does anyone know how I could get my JPanel to display and somehow insert a delay before test.instance();?
Thanks.

I made my own a few days before for a database program. It can be easily done with Threads.
I recommend you create a new class to be used as the spalsh screen , it has to extends JFrame and implements Runnable.
I ll give you an example. I used the spash screen to display the screen and also to laod the main GUI form so that when the spash screen dispose, the main GUI form displays instantly, making the user think that the application loads faster.
public void run ()
        try
             this.setVisible(true);
             Thread.sleep(2000);
             // sets the menu visible before disposing
             guiMenu.setVisible(true);
             // disposes the object and returns the resources to the OS
             this.dispose();
        catch(InterruptedException exception)
            exception.printStackTrace();
// this method must be implement in the class
// that implements Runnable interface
//MAIN
public class Main
    public static void main(String[] args)
        Menu menu = new Menu();
        SplashScreen introScreen = new SplashScreen(menu);
        ExecutorService splashExecutor= Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1);
        splashExecutor.execute(introScreen);
}ExecutorService is a subinterface of Executor that declares methods for managing the threads. It also has the method execute (that provides the Executor interface) which when invoked calls the method public void run() of the argument class that must implement Runnable.
Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1); creates a poll consisting of a 1 thread which is been used by splashExecutor to execute the Runnable.
Hope i've been of some assistance!

Splash Screen for Android with Flash CS5.5

How can I make a SplashScreen with Flash CS5.5 or just with AIR/AS3 codes. I need it while the App/Game is loading...
I know that it's possible with Flex 4.5 as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:ViewNavigatorApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                          xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                          firstView="views.HomeView"
                          splashScreenImage="@Embed('splashscreen.png')" />
http://workflowflash.com/98437/air-for-android-splash-screen-with-flex-4-5.php
But I want to do it without Flex. So can I ?
Thank you

i'm not sure if this is necessary anymore, but i took the advise of another user here
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/764981
the key difference is, the user stated a preloading swf needed to embed the image in order to display before the whole apk is loaded.
Seems to be working for me anyway

Where can I get a white screen for I pod 4 touch near Dorchester,Uk.My i pod 4 screen has broken and am looking for a genuine screen for it.

I have an i pod touch 4 and the screen has broken due to being dropped.I am willing to repair it myself in order to keep the cost down.Now I am looking for a genuine screen for it and would like to know where to get it as cheap as possible.

You're very welcome.
What seems to be unfair is I can buy that motherboard directly from HP in the USA as you saw, but for whatever reason you can't buy it directly from HP in the UK.
I still think you would be better off checking out what related notebooks may be for sale out there on eBay UK.
I buy all my PC's on eBay in used condition for great bargains. I do limit myself to the business PC's and notebooks that HP makes, however.
Best of luck in whatever you decide to do.

Paul

Show splash screen for x amount of seconds

Is there a better way to show a splash screen for x seconds than putting it in a while loop? It just seems so inefficiant and it uses a lot of processing power. This is what I have: long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
while(System.getCurrentTimeMillis() <= startTime + 5000) {
//wait
mainPage.setVisible(true);

javax.swing.Timer.

Edge Animate correct software for Animated Splash Screen iOS app???

Hi eveyone, I am fairly new to the mobile designing and come from a print background, 99% of my posts are on the InDesign forums.
I was wondering if you could please direct me to the best way to create an Animated Splash Screen for iOS?
Would Adobe Edge Animate be the right tool?
Or is there a different way to do it?
I thought it would be coded by the app developers but I can't really find enough info and I'm a bit out of my depth to understand all the websites I've read.

Yes, it would be pretty simple with phonegap.

OpenSUSE-inspired splash screen for GIMP

I saw this (old) openSUSE splash screen for GIMP and quite liked it:
And so I created a new version of it, using Inkscape. The PNG splash screen should be placed in $HOME/.gimp-2.6/splashes/ (or .gimp-2.7/ if you're using gimp-devel). The font used is FifthLeg, which is based upon the font used in the openSUSE splash, and can be found in the AUR under otf-fifthleg: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23740.
The quick install (original version):
mkdir -p $HOME/.gimp-2.8/splashes
wget http://oi43.tinypic.com/s33fo9.jpg -O $HOME/.gimp-2.8/splashes/gimp-splash.png
Here is the SVG file, in case you want to scale it up/down or change anything for your usage:
http://www.mdn.fm/files/100696_f4f0h/gimp-splash.svg
Screenshot:
EDIT: Switched image hosting from ImageShack to TinyPic ... ImageShack has been very unreliable in the past few years.
EDIT: Updated links (TinyPic is forcing the extension to JPG for whatever reason, but the file itself is a PNG). SVG link is dead.

Yes, I appreciate the irony there. I wanted it to be easily scalable, and I didn't want to make some gigantic XCF.
That and, I wanted to learn a little more about Inkscape. The combination of the two (GIMP, Inkscape) is outstanding.
