Make an option to disable splash screen on Adguard launch

[Revertron]

In advanced options: pref.splash.enabled. Default: true.

[Revertron]

Done.

Ad guard splash screen still a problem. After 3 years bitching about this issue, could you please provide option to disable. Additionally I am still somewhat confused that the member Revertron has closed the issue without reason code other than just "an enhancement". Actually I would consider this a quality control issue than an "enhancement". The user (that is myself) does not perceive it as an "enhancement" as fixing this problem provides no real value but rather corrects a design flaw from the beginning.
To remove the splash screen would require about 10 lines of code. What's the holdup??

We've changed the behavior of the splash screen to be like in Google's apps.
It is shown only when the initialization of service layer is needed, i.e. when the app is not running at all (or killed by system). The second and next starts you supposed to not see it at all.

1. You can add comments to closed issues, there's no need to create a new one.
2. In the version v2.12 there is already a switch for the splash screen
3. This switch was removed in v3.0 beta because the current behavior is equal to having the splash screen disabled.
4. The splash screen cannot be completely disabled because of it's nature.

There will be anyway a second when the app is initializing, and at that moment Android will have to show you something. If there's no splash screen, it will be simply an empty white screen.

So the question is what exactly do you want us to do? Provide a switch that will force the "white screen" splash screen instead of the normal splash screen?

Is there any example of the behavior you want us to implement?

Well my friend I don't understand your rational with respect to the service layer you mentioned. When I boot up my system, I do not expect the splash screen to reappear unless I explicitly manage to request it. The same behavior as say google mail etc.. The splash screen should only show up in the following use cases: 1 - When I first install the application, in order to set preferences, options, etc.. 2 - When I right-click the icon on the taskbar and manipulate settings relevant to the application. When you mention "initialization of the service is needed" let's be very specific on this matter. What do you mean by this?? Do you mean a background service?? Please advise.

And BTW I am referring this request specifically on the windows platform e.g. windows 10. I believe I filed my request under the proper platform.

Ah, that was about Windows! Sorry for that, I've misunderstood it completely.

[jccube]

It is understandable. That is why we are conversing on the issue. To clear things up.
