Splasher1.54

Made for software developers, Splasher is a programming component that can be integrated into applications based on MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class Library). It provides features for adding an enhanced splash screen to programs.Compared to old-school splash screen components which were included in earlier editions of Microsoft Visual C++, this utility brings a number of perks. For instance, it offers support for any type of graphical file that can be loaded with ATL::CImage. This image can even have transparency thanks to an added alpha channel.When including the Splasher code into their software projects, developers can load an external image instead of a bitmap resource. This way, it's possible to configure splash screen settings at runtime, without having to pick a different bitmap resource within the executable file. Another way is to enable an option for end users to make modifications to the splash screens themselves.What's more, because Splasher accesses the image file to obtain the color palette, it means that it's capable of reading more colors than the standard 16 which come with bitmap resources. Thanks to the fact that the tool features supports for multiple threads, it has a good response time continuously, and the splash screen picture recreates itself in a correct manner at program startup in the normal MFC InitInstance override.
