<p class="MsoNormal">Hey everyone,<br>
<br>
I saw another case of users getting confused between the *splash screen* and *default image* recently, and I want explain the problem and propose some changes to decrease the confusion. First, let me explain the difference between the two.<br>
<br>
The *splash screen* is the initial OpenLP logo that shows up when you start OpenLP. The goal of the splash screen is to show users that the application is actually responding when they start it. A number of applications, OpenLP included, take a while to start
up, and don't show up immediately, and showing the splash screen as soon as possible helps to prevent users from trying to start the application multiple times 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 when OpenLP first launches.<br>
<br>
I'm not entirely sure what the source of the confusion between these two 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 the display screen.<br>
3. We currently have no feature to show the default image again (aka "logo screen").<br>
4. When you start OpenLP on a computer with only 1 monitor for the first time, the display screen covers the main window, and the splash screen 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 help to alleviate the confusion:<br>
<br>
1. Remove the option to hide the splash screen. I doubt anyone who actually knows what this does actually uses it, and 99% of applications 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 on a computer with only a single monitor (this one is really tricky if we want to continue to support single-monitor setups).<br>
<br>
