A string naming a file containing an image to be displayed when the application starts.
On Windows, the image needs to be in Windows Bitmap format and must be Indexed Color rather than RGB color.
On Cocoa and Motif, the image can be in any format supported by Graphics Ports, and the file will be read as if by
gp:read-external-image
. See the "Working with images" section in the LispWorks
CAPI User Guide
for details.
On Windows the user can dismiss the startup screen by clicking on it. It can be dismissed programmatically by calling
win32:dismiss-splash-screen
- see the
LispWorks Reference Manual
for details.
