Providing a customized splash screen

The splash screen, or startup bitmap, for VisualAge Smalltalk is read from a file. You can customize the image that displays when your executable starts by providing a new bitmap file. The dialog window that opens will resize to fit around the bitmap.

To change the bitmap that displays on startup, follow these steps:

  1. Name your bitmap the same as your executable. For example, if you copied nodialog.exe to myapp1.exe, you will need to name the bitmap myapp1.bmp.
  2. Copy the bitmap to the same directory that the executable file is in.

If you do not want a bitmap to display when you start the image, you can either specify the -nosplash option or make sure there is no bitmap in the same directory as the executable that has the same name as the executable.
