Good idea. Two questions: does it works now? Can somebody share a video with splash screens?
29.09.2014, 18:34, "Daniel d'Andrada" <[email protected]>:
The idea of the image is not to fake the looks of the running
application (like a screenshot) but to be more like a traditional splash
screen image such as a big application logo or something.
Faking the running application with an image would require a more
sophisticated (complex!) approach as it would have to consider not only
the orientation (landscape vs. portrait) but also the screen aspect
ratio and maybe even its resolution. So we left this option out for now.
Should probably have made it more clear in the X-Ubuntu-Splash-Image
documentation.

and portait for option 3 ?

We now offer 3 kinds of splash screens for applications:
1. A splash with a gradient background, the application icon and
application name (default)
2. A splash with a gradient background and an image
3. A splash faking a MainView with header text set giving the illusion
that the
application has started instantly but with its contents being shown
later on.
Apps by default get option 1 and the gradient background is all black by
default as well.
So nothing changes until you start adding the new entries to the desktop
file of your application.
Those entries are the following:
X-Ubuntu-Splash-Show-Header (boolean)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whether an application header should be shown on the splash screen. It
turns on splash
screen mode 3 (as described above)
The header will display the text in X-Ubuntu-Splash-Title, if defined,
or the application
name otherwise.
X-Ubuntu-Splash-Title (text, to be
localizable soon)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
See X-Ubuntu-Splash-Show-Header
X-Ubuntu-Splash-Image (file name)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
File name of an image present in the directory stated in the Path entry.
The splash image is centered on the splash screen and displayed in
its actual size (ie, it's not stretched or shrinked and aspect ratio
is kept).
X-Ubuntu-Splash-Color (color)
-----------------------------
Background color of the splash screen.
It uses QColor::setNamedColor to parse a color value out of a text string.
The see its documentation for valid string formats and values.
If X-Ubuntu-Splash-Show-Header is true, it defaults to the theme's
background color,
otherwise it defaults to black.
X-Ubuntu-Splash-Color-Header (color)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background color used in the upper area of the splash screen (ie, its
header area)
It uses QColor::setNamedColor to parse a color value out of a text string.
There will be a
vertical gradient between X-Ubuntu-Splash-Color-Header
and X-Ubuntu-Splash-Color in the upper half of the splash background.
By default it uses X-Ubuntu-Splash-Color (or its default value, if not set).
X-Ubuntu-Splash-Color-Footer (color)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background color used in the bottom area of the splash screen (ie, its
footer area)
It uses QColor::setNamedColor to parse a color value out of a text string.
There will be a vertical gradient between X-Ubuntu-Splash-Color and
X-Ubuntu-Splash-Color-Footer in the lower half of the splash background.
By default it uses X-Ubuntu-Splash-Color (or its default value, if not set).--
