-------------------------------------------------------------------
SplashScreen is not even a Swing component, it is in AWT. It is displaying even
before the main method of the main class and can be accessed later using
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/awt/SplashScreen.html
As of flickering: It is not happening on a fresh install, as the updated
picture is the same.
[~Chrizzly] This is happening before anything would happen in / with the IDE,
so there is nothing can be dome with HTML/CSS here.

> Unfortunately the Java SplashScreen feature is not well maintained. It looks
> really odd on Linux multi-monitor displays trying to arrange the screen on
> the middle of the two monitors. I think the intention of this Java feature
> was to create prompt response to the user on opening a Java application. Well
> disk and hardware get quicker and Java get leaner on load (with Java 9).
> This feature could be replaced by using a custom window instead.
> This would improve on two things:
> - Placement of the Splash Screen could be really multi-monitor aware
> - There is a flicker on startup for those who are upgrading from dev/release
> candidate to final release. The first image says developer version then it
> updates to release
> I'm trying to work something out. Though there is some chance to have some
> interference with the platform branding.
