Ceniza,

I have just build C::B rev2173 on ubuntu 5.10 and your Splash Screen looks really great . So cool .

Thank you for providing it.

Best wishes,
Michael

Question: Should we maybe try and add wxWS_EX_TRANSIENT to the splash screen's style flags?

Don't use this window as an implicit parent for the other windows: this must be used with transient windows as otherwise there is the risk of creating a dialog/frame with this window as a parent which would lead to a crash if the parent is destroyed before the child.

The occasional crashes/freezes seen when dialogs are shown while the splash screen comes up could (maybe, possibly?) result from that very cause, not sure.

Have you tried already with the latest changes in cbSplashScreen?

Since I cannot commit them to Code::Blocks' SVN repository but I'm using it in another project, the latest version is in my SVN repository.

Well, the problem is I don't see any crashes myself any more ever since wxSTAY_ON_TOP was removed. Thus, I cannot tell whether it is better or worse
