Splash¶

The splash screen is displayed by the launcher to give the user something to watch as Java loads up; later on in the start up process a progress bar is drawn over top of the splash screen.

When making your own splash screen you will want to plan out the location of the progress bar and progress message as shown above.

• Select the Splash tab

• Check the Add a progress bar check box and enter:

  • Enter 0 in the x-offset field
  • Enter 196 into the y-offset field
  • Enter 500 in the width field
  • Enter 10 in the height field

• Check the Add a progress message check box and enter:

  • Enter 180 into the y-offset field
  • Enter 16 into the height field

• Change the Text color to white
