<br>
I saw another case of users getting confused between the *splash screen* <br>
and *default image* recently, and I want explain the problem and propose <br>
some changes to decrease the confusion. First, let me explain the <br>
difference between the two.<br>
<br>
The *splash screen* is the initial OpenLP logo that shows up when you <br>
start OpenLP. The goal of the splash screen is to show users that the <br>
application is actually responding when they start it. A number of <br>
applications, OpenLP included, take a while to start up, and don't show <br>
up immediately, and showing the splash screen as soon as possible helps <br>
to prevent users from trying to start the application multiple times <br>
because it doesn't seem to be starting the first time.<br>
<br>
The *default image* is the logo that shows up on the live display screen <br>
when OpenLP first launches.<br>
<br>
I'm not entirely sure what the source of the confusion between these two <br>
screens is, but I think it has something to do with the following facts:<br>
<br>
1. There's an option in the settings to hide the splash screen.<br>
2. There's an option in the settings to change the "default image" on <br>
the display screen.<br>
3. We currently have no feature to show the default image again (aka <br>
"logo screen").<br>
4. When you start OpenLP on a computer with only 1 monitor for the first <br>
time, the display screen covers the main window, and the splash screen <br>
logo perfectly covers the default image on the display screen.<br>
<br>
I'd like to propose the following changes, in the hopes that they will <br>
help to alleviate the confusion:<br>
<br>
1. Remove the option to hide the splash screen. I doubt anyone who <br>
actually knows what this does actually uses it, and 99% of applications <br>
out there that also have a splash screen do not have this option.<br>
2. Rename the "default image" to "Logo screen"<br>
3. Add the ability to "Show logo screen" (alongside Blank/Desktop/Theme)<br>
4. Go over our screen code again to prevent the display from showing up <br>
on a computer with only a single monitor (this one is really tricky if <br>
we want to continue to support single-monitor setups).<br>
<br>
<br>
Thoughts? Ideas? Comments? Criticism?<br>
