Update Splash #1381
Comments
removed SWT GUI Manager (unfortunately this breaks our packages) can't test under Linux because the splash is replaced with an empty window right after the loading begins (see #862).
not working for importer atm. |

Current version throws exception on occasion (mainly when debugging during startup)

does not solve our problems. TODO: progress monitor integration with subtasks
the background is ok now on my machine (not red anymore) |
Missing progress is only a problem under Linux and MacOSX. Related to #862 |
The only way to solve the progress / #862 problems is probably to do the loading after the workbench has been initialized using the eclipse progress monitors. However, this way it would not be possible anymore to restore workbench layouts. We need to decide if we still want to have that in future. |

We can try to change the order of our startup process and trigger the data loading in the splash init method. |

The current Splash screen has a couple of problems:
Concerning the background, I've experimented with writing using a graphics container (GC) instead of a label:
Notice the "Test". Here I got transparency to work immediately. Does that look (exactly) the same for you?
