Splash Screen w/Alpha Blending
Splash Screen w/Alpha Blending
- Is it possible somehow to use a alpha blended bmp/png as a splash screen? I know NO C++, so that's no help. I just don't want to have to use a crappy square splash screen: they're no fun. =D
Any advice anyone?

Are you asking about customizing the splash screen on your own isolated shell application?
If so, in VS 2010 Beta 2, it should be possible to use a PNG file with alpha blending. Try it and see. If you get stuck, let me know and I'll try to work out the exact instructions.

- Thanks for that confirmation, but I was referring to VS2008. Would there really be any issue with working with the VS 2010 Beta shell? Are there any limitations atm?
Well, it's Beta software. I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying that it still has bugs, but by all means try it and see.
