Launcher Wizard: Configure Splash Screen

     


  In this step of the launcher wizard, you can configure a splash screen for your application.
  install4j offers three different splash screen options
  • No splash screen
  • install4j splash screen
    This is a splash screen whose implementation is provided by install4j. On Windows, this splash screen will be displayed by native code an provides for extremely fast user feedback. This mode works with all supported JVMs. Further configuration settings are available on the Advanced splash screen options tab.
  • Java 6+ splash screen

    From Java 6 on, Java provides a splash screen implementation. If you would like to use this option, your project must at least specify a Java minimum version of 1.6 on the Java Version tab of the General Settings.

    Please note that you cannot specify the -splash: VM parameter in the , since this VM parameter is parsed by the default Java launchers (java.exe and javaw.exe) which are not used by install4j for Windows launchers.

  If you decide to display a splash screen, you have to enter an image file. The file format can be PNG or GIF. If the project has already been saved, a relative file path will be interpreted as relative to the project file.
