I did a quick search of Apple's guidelines and did not come up with
definitive guidance. Does anyone know Apple's recommendation
regarding the use of splash screens ?
There are Apple examples of how to create a Java splash screen.
There are Apple examples of how to create a QuickTime splash screen.
Are there any Apple applications that use a splash screen ?
Are there any non-Microsoft and non-Adobe applications that use a
splash screen on the Mac ?
Do splash screens exist to brand an application or do give users
something to look at while the application slowly loads application
data or both ?
Does the use of a splash screen foretell a non-Mac like experience ?
Do the users of splash screens intend their splash windows to cover
whatever else the user is working on and prevent them from doing any
other work ? If so, why ?
How do splash screens supplement the bouncing dock icon ?
