IMO you shouldn't display a spash screen for a second longer than it's really needed. This could be done something like this:

- (void) startApp
{
[mySplashScreenWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront: nil];

// Perform all initialization

[mySplashScreenWindow orderOut: nil];
}

If you really think that you want to force all users to wait 10 seconds looking at this window every time they launch your app, then you need to use a timer. Something like this:

- (void) startApp
{
[mySplashScreenWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront: nil];

// Perform all initialization

[self performSelector: @selector(closeSplash) withObject: nil afterDelay: 10.0];
}

- (void) closeSplash
{
[mySplashScreenWindow orderOut: nil];
}

I want a startup window in my app, that tells that the application is initializing, and after 10 sec (so everyone can look at the nice picture) I want it to be closed and the main window pops up. The startup window (complete with picture and initializing text) is already made but how do I tell it to stay open for 10 sec before open the main window? Is it ok to have some kind if timer that waits for 10 sec after - (void)awakeFromNib?
