Class SplashScreen

java.lang.Object
  uic.widgets.Splash
      uic.widgets.SplashScreen

public class SplashScreen
extends Splash

A Splash screen that will show a picture and possibly a progressbar. The splash screen is written for speed; on my 800 mHz machine it takes less then a second for this splash to be visible.
Positioning of the splash is in the center of the current screen (choosing the active monitor on a multi screen setup).
The image can be any format the respective JRE supports using ImageIO, using the latter immidiately also means this splashscreen only works with JRE 1.4 and later. Use the Splash superclass which needs an Image, but is usable on JRE 1.2 and later.
