Gräßlin: Client Side Window Decorations and WaylandGräßlin: Client Side Window Decorations and WaylandPosted Feb 19, 2013 11:01 UTC (Tue) by mpr22 (subscriber, #60784)In reply to: Gräßlin: Client Side Window Decorations and Wayland by fdrs Parent article: Gräßlin: Client Side Window Decorations and Wayland I think that window decorations look terrible on application splash windows (and yes, splash windows do fulfil a useful purpose; they give the user confidence that their slow-starting application has in fact started to start, while avoiding the "here is your interface, even though your application is not yet usable" problem; I think every GUI application that takes more than, say, 500ms to start should have one).

I really hate splash windows which insist on being in the foreground and that can not be dismissed, *especially* if the app takes a long time to load! I could be doing something else, if not for the splash window!

Why not show a normal progress dialog instead of a "splash screen"?
