Add a splash screen
If you choose to create a Standalone Menu with Ashampoo® Gadge It, you can design a splash screen in this dialog. A splash screen is a graphic that is shown while the menu is launched. Using the splash screen editor in the dialog below you can load your own images (see 1) or choose images from a selection of predefined template images (see 3). Use the tool bar functions (see 2), which are described below, in order to customize the splash screen according to your wishes. The duration slider (see 4) is used to define how long the splash screen is visible before the actual menu is displayed. When you think you’re done, use the preview function to actually see what your splash screen will look like (see 5)! Furthermore you can add text, tables, forms or additional images onto your background splash screen image. Go to the chapter Edit text for more information on the functions of the text editor. |

Splash screen editor
Within this area the splash screen is displayed and edited. Of course you can also resize or rotate a text that is placed on your splash screen background. Furthermore, you can also add tables and forms. You can design the look of the splash screen by right clicking onto your image until the menu is displayed. Click on the following chapter links to find more detailed information on how to add text, tables, and forms. |
