NotPro Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Is there a way to remove the Splash screen or change it to sometime else at the end of a runtime solution? NotPro (Now upgraded to FM 8 Pro Advanced) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrentHedden Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Yea - when you create (bind) the runtime solution in Advanced, there should be an option for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotPro Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 Well, the only option I see is this "Closing splash screen [Preview]" I don't seem to be able to find any other option where I can disable. NotPro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrentHedden Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Sorry - I meant to say yes, there is a way to change the splash screen. I'm not aware of completely removing it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smith Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I sure would be interested in HOW. This has been a bone of contention since the thing became permanent in version 5 (or was it 4). AFAIK, you are stuck with it as it is. Someone please prove me wrong, and post a workaround. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrentHedden Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I'm supposing that one can't remove the splash screen because FileMaker has to have their name in the program runtime SOMEwhere. However, the big graphic can be changed to whatever one desires. This is done when creating the runtime in Pro Advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanshotton Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Came across this - http://www.kiosk2win.com/ This has the ability to create a kiosk moded runtime with wraparound gui that still alows users to use windows environment and remove the filemaker splash, not sure which versions it works with. would love for them to release a remove splash screen only though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.M. Wrider Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I've tried to change the splash screen several times...I choose the graphic (jpg) I want, but it never replaces the default FileMaker one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoZiMan Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Had good success changing the splash. Has to be EXACTLY the right size and type of graphic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanshotton Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 To get around this create a splash screen and turn it into a exe file. (on Windows xp I use Tin Splash its free) On your closing script have filemaker open the splash screen and make sure bring app to front is selected. As long as your splash screen is larger than the filemaker splash it will simply be covered up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1200 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 The use of a "coverall" splash sounds like a great solution but I haven't been able to locate Tin Splash. Would you happen to know of a current download site for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1200 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Solved! It turns out that the name of the utility is actually TinSplash. It can be located at: http://www.desktopian.org/tinsplash.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies Death Posted May 19, 2006 Newbies Share Posted May 19, 2006 I can e-mail you a fix that eliminates the nasty "made with filemaker" thing at the end of the runtime exit. Do you want it to also not show the "..portions of this software..." text? I can get you one that only shows your splash graphic, or your splash and the "...portions of..." underneath... For FMPRO Advanced 8v3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
