Splashed! [support topic]

Postby FranklinDM » Fri Jun 30, 2017 3:21 am

I don't know if this is the right category/forum to post this but here.
Splashed!
Splashed! is a fork of the old Splash! add-on for Firefox which has been long abandoned and unmaintained for Firefox 5+. Need a splash screen while you wait? Old (and maybe some) applications have splash screens to let the user know that there's something happening. Supports Pale Moon, Thunderbird/FossaMail, and maybe SeaMonkey in the future.

Download:
PM Add-ons site or at the repository

Notes:
To make the background of the splash transparent you must go to the add-on's options, under background, put "transparent" as the background.

For other questions, feel free to post here.

Thanks.

Oh wow!! :thumbup: I have never seen anything like this, at least not done with the browser.

At first, I was confused and then curious, so I gave it a try. May I make a suggestion? I think you should give a better definition of your add-on, cause I never new you called that a splash screen or have seen one in a long time.

Question:
How would this work on the portable version of Pale Moon? I believe it already comes with a splash screen of itself.
With Pale Moon by my side, surfing the web is quite enjoyable and takes my headaches away! :)

No issues so far with this extension.

Yup, it would still work with the portable version since the splash screen in PM-Portable is spawn from a separate executable, not PM itself. Btw I have updated the description in the add-ons page.

If you want to replace the splash screen in the portable with the one provided by the extension instead of having them double up, you can change the following in palemoon-portable.ini:

  1. Find the [Options] section in the .ini (near the bottom)
  2. Find the line ShowSplash=true
  3. Change true to false

But, not in install version?

... Maybe a little dense today? :)
The install version doesn't come with a splash screen.
