During its initialization state, the application can show a splash screen (an image shortly displayed at startup). Splash screen is useful if you wish to display your company's logo or something related to your application's contents.

Splash Screen Settings

 

This can be any image in JPEG, PNG, BMP, SVG or GIF formats.

 

You can set how long you want this splash screen to display. Note that if the user clicks it, the screen closes immediately, whatever the time you selected. It is possible to disable that behavior in the Advanced Options (Allow the user to close the splash screen by clicking it).

 

 

XLS Padlock can display non-rectangular alpha-blended (semi-transparent) splash screens if you use 32-bit PNG files. This can give a unique look to your workbook application.
