[Pharo-project] [For Testing] RC3 One-Click
- splash.bmp says release candidate 2. It should be release stable 1.0 or RC3.
Use the attached one.
This comes from the vm package. I personally honestly don't understand spash-screens. Is windows so slow in loading an image file?
There is no reason to have one to fill load time since this is fast as on any other platform. It is more or less a short intro screen to display version info and show the logo. It is very common to provide one and often you can already guess the version from the style of the splash without reading the provided version info. As a developer you would ask "why" - wearing a marketing hat you should say "absolutely necessary". Smalltalk should not only evolve in programming features but also learn some marketing/branding so people will remember it. Read the german entry on Wikipedia for more infos: [1] http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splash_Screen Another bonus is that if one takes the one-click to develop a commercial application he just has to replace the splash with a custom one. If you dislike it, then just delete/rename the splash.bmp after unzipping the one click and you are done. Bye T. -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
