What is a splash screen?

A splash screen is a window that pops up that shows an image while the program continues loading in the background. This lets the user know the program has started, it's just busy. The splash screen usually shows for 3 - 5 seconds depending on how fast your computer is. It will show longer if loading an rbxl by double clicking on it, starting a server, starting a player, etc. Very few programs show their main window while loading because it's creating controls, reloading the previous window layout, filling in tables, loading icons, etc. and it's just downright ugly. The splash screen has no performance hit because it is just a borderless window showing an image, no code is run. We do have the ability to show text on the splash screen to update the user on the current status. Your name will be mentioned in the About dialog in Roblox Studio 2.0 and possibly the image depending on how it's done. Think whimsical and fun!
