'''Title:''' TclMiniSplash '''Description:''' This Tcl extension provides Tcl/Tk app developers with a small, simple splash screen. A [splash screen] is a small window without a title bar. It's most often used by applications which must load a large number of resources to start, so a splash screen provides instant confirmation that the program has started and has not crashed. '''License:''' BSD style license. '''URL:''' http://tclminisplash.autons.net/ '''Author/s:''' Peter Caffin ([peterc]). '''Requires:''' Tk. '''Rationale:''' TclMiniSplash's main advantages over some other splash screen packages are: (a) It's tiny, (b) It provides some activity indication, (c) It can be loaded and run from your script just like any other normal package, and, (d) For your convenience, it contains a TAP file for use with [ActiveState]'s [TDK]. '''Latest release:''' The current version is 0.01, released on 2009-07-18. ---- '''Screenshots:''' [http://tclminisplash.autons.net/shots/tclminisplash-mac.png] Above: Splash screen on Mac OS X.
