We discussed this over the years, and having a splash screen is a good way to engage with the community: it offers a showcase for mascots, version identity and an opportunity for contests. So I added a splashscreen today. It's simple, and indeed disappears pretty quickly.<br>

The current splash is intentionally ugly, so I hope it'll be replaced soon :-)<br></blockquote></div><div><br>I've not seen the new splashscreen yet. The only thing I know about splashscreens: they mustn't be always-on-top flagged. That is the problem Visual Paradigm has. This Java-based monster loads a dozen of seconds, and you can't use your PC during this time ;)<br>
