<br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Krita never had a splashscreen, originally because Patrick Julien's goal was to make krita startup so fast that the splash would be invisible anyway. 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>
<br>
The current splash is intentionally ugly, so I hope it'll be replaced soon :-)<br></blockquote><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>
