Intro
Splash Screen Randomizer is comprised of two applications. The first is a very small application[SplScrnRnd] that runs at startup and either replaces your splash screen file or changes the associated registry setting to a random file from a folder of your choice. This gives you a new splash screen each time you boot! The second app[SplScrnRnd Settings], as it's name would suggest is a tool to adjust SplScrnRnd's settings and customize the splash screens that you load. By default you'll be greeted with a random image each time you boot, but you can choose to use a specific screen you like or import your own images and randomize those!

How To Use
As always you can drag .png or .bmp images into your splashes folder to add them into the loop. To use an image that is not .bmp or .png. Choose "Use Specific Screen" then find the file in the newly enabled browse box. This will scale the image and save it to your splashes directory with a .png extension.

When you install Splash Screen Randomizer It will create a folder in \My Documents\Splashes (You can change this folder after install if you want) Depending on which version you download you may have 1 splash screen or 13 in your splashes folder. The normal version only includes the splash screen that I released a while back called Merlin XP (which accounts for 200KB of the cab size) (In 1.2.5 + the normal version includes black_shadow69's black splash b/c it is 48kb rather than 200). While the other has one of nuthin's splash screens and a whole bunch of black_shadow69's.

You can change the Splashes directory by launching "SplScrnRndStg" From the Programs menu. At this point you can change the settings manually by editing the .xml file in the "Program Files\SplashScreenRandomizer" Folder.

Note:
If you had v0.7.5 you should uninstall it first and delete the directory called "SplashScreenRandomizerSetup" in your program files (you don't have to do that from v1.0 on).

Update Description:
v1.4.0 (26-01-2009):
- Major form factor support added(QVGA,VGA,WVGA[testers needed]). Screen layout and image importing is now dynamic.
- IO Mode switches on automaticaly on first run if your phone is windows mobile 6.0 or below (i.e < 5.2.19000).
- OpenFile 2.0 included (my extended Mobile Practices codebase).
- File attributes on default splash are adjusted to work better with IO Mode.
- Better error handling added.
- lots of backend improvements and UI Tweaks.
- Richer UI coming soon.

v1.3.0 (27-07-2008):
- Added IO Mode - IO mode is for backwards compatibility, it will replace your default screen when the app is run instead of changing the registry setting. If you had problems with the more recent releases of SSR this should smooth things out for you [*See "Quirks Or Issues" for more info*].
- Added Support for AppToDate an excellent app to keep your programs up to date.
- Recommended Install Method if you use AppToDate to minimize download size.
    o Download Splash Screen Randomizer Without Splashes OR view the attached .txt file and save it in "\Application Data\AppToDate\SplashScreenRandomizerA2D.xml" on your device (The icon will come with the installer after you update).
    o Download Splashes.Zip and extract them into your splashes folder(default is "\My Documents\Splashes".
    o Run AppToDate and SSR as usual.

v1.2.5 (13-04-2008):
- Now use ANY of the major image formats(.bmp, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .tif) as your splash screen (the image is scaled and saved as a .png in your splashes folder).
- The settings screen is now drawn dynamicaly (i.e. no scrollbars should be displayed when in portrait or landscape mode).
- .bmp and .png files will be displayed/randomized if they are in your splashes folder.
- option added to replace your default splash (original splash is saved to your splashes folder).
- Optimized code in several places and reduced overall size.
- Due to it's size, the default splash included with the smaller version is black_shadow69's black version below.

v1.0:
- You can now preview the next boot splash or randomize a new one from settings.
- You can pick an individual splash screen to use (this will remove the randomizer link from startup until the "single file" option is unchecked).
- You can now reset the picture back to the original setting by pressing the "Reset".
- The splash are no longer copied from the splash folder to the windows folder. The registry values that point to the file in the windows folder are now changed to point to the file in the splash folder. This does improve startup speed because less io traffic is happening Credit for reg links:l3v5y.
- The OpenFile dialog has been slimmed down and tweaked a bit to allow context sensitive clicking (i.e. "right click" gives "Enter Folder, Select Folder, and Select File"respectively).
