Yes actually,
If you are writing a Cocoa application do not use Splash Screens
unless you are loading several plugins and components which need to
be initiated before your application starts up. This actually goes
against the design patterns of cocoa applications.\
In one aspect I dissagree. Splash screens are either generally bad
practice no matter what API you use or they are a good thing no matter
wich API is your preference. The aspect of a an app being written
using Carbon API vs. Cocoa API doesn't change whether it is bad
interface or not, IMO.
If you are using Carbon, or other C based languages you can probably
use them, but they tend to annoy the standard users of applications.
I do agree that they can be an annoyance. However they are just as
much in either API subset. To the user they are the same.
Chris is right when he says sometime they are necessary in some cases.
Take PS Elements for example, I think we would both agree that even if
it was written in Cocoa API it would be bad practice NOT to have a
splash screen since it can take so long to load (a few minutes on
slower machines.)

I have a splashscreen at the starting of my application but I don't
want that the application menubar appears and that an action is
launched before the splashscreen disappears.
Does somebody have a suggestion ?
Thanks
