Before program starts - show about form (like Skype)

[alpha1]

How can to do, that on before my program starts, show about form (like before Skype`s start)?

splashscreen
or
splash screen

its easy

create a second unit (form) and let it generate before the main form will be generated.
you must do this in the main project file.

after your application has fully loaded, destroy the first form.


thats all :)

@TheAn00bis: Jemandem, der evtl kein Deutsch kann, bringt das nich viel -g-

Hello,

try this tutorial: http://www.delphi-central.com/splash.aspx
It's in English and not too bad as I can see from a first look at it ;)

I have already made a simple splashscreen :) , but I would, that in splashcreen`s form the picture could be with non-corrected corners, it means that the picture could be somethink like this(a form not visible - only a picture visible except white background only picture`s contour!):

Try that:

1. Form.Borderstyle = bsNone
2. Form.Color = clWhite
3. Form.TransparentColor = True
4. Form.TransparentColorValue = clWhite
