@Fabián Rodríguez: You are mistaken. Why i closed the papercut is /not/ *my* personal preference, But more as to why there seems no reference in the HIG. The oldest reference to anyone objecting to splashscreens was Calum > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01823.html (18 Jan 2006) that's 5yrs ago. Calum maintains the GNOME HIG and worked in Sun, but OOo still has the splash. I wonder why! ;-) However, in http://live.gnome.org/UsabilityProject/HIG/ThreeZero/LondonHackfestNotes , it is mentioned as "Splash screens (short version: don’t)" . I'm not sure about the status of that page, if it is a draft or has been accepted. Or maybe the splash remains due to a clause in the app's copyright? I have no preference regarding this, Feel free to follow up with Calum or mpt and re-open the papercut when you have made progress... :-)
