The second method is 100% correct, pls double check you are running the latest cordova version (3.5.0-0.2.6)
cordova -version 3.5.0-0.2.6 cordova prepare windows8 -d If everything is correct you should see that the following image is replaced app\platforms\windows8\images\splashscreen.png app --icons --windows8 .. --platforms --windows8 Thx!

Apparently two methods exists : * (old method) <preference name="SplashScreen" value="splashscreen" /> Console says : unable to locate splashscreen The file splashscreen.png is located in the platforms/windows8 folder * (new method) <splash src="icons/windows8/splashscreen.png" width="620" height="300" /> The folder icons is located at the root of my cordova project. Is it normal ? Do I miss something ? Thanks for your response. Florian
