I don't see the point of a splash screen. I think it only makes sense if starting the application takes several seconds and the splash screen indicates how long it will take until it the app is ready (like with Photoshop). Apart from that, and especially if starting up only takes a second or two max, I don't see any use. Adrian On Sep 22, 2008, at 20:06 , Marcus Denker wrote:

Beginners always lament on the default look of Squeak. Hopefully this will change with Pharo and Truetype/Polymorph.
Some comments on the pharo one click image:
I dont know who builds the custom VM for Pharo - but the icon is the one from Seaside and should be replaced.
I did not look at the windows vm (besides coping the dlls there). The icon needs to be replaced.
Attached is a modified Pharo.ini and a sample splash file. Just put it in the same directory as the EXE file for the one click install.
Thanks a lot!
One question: is the splash-screen really needed? On my mac it starts *extremely* fast. Instantly, actually.
Do we have access to professinal designer for a good looking splash/website/icons? Are there any plans regarding this?
Yes. Samuel Morello is our Designer. The website is nearly done, in addition there will be a Pharo theme for Polymorph. Gary and Samuel offert to collaborate on that.
