Intro
Splash Screen Randomizer is a simple tool that launches in the background at startup and swaps out the Welcome Splash screen with a random splash screen from a folder that can be defined by you.

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.

You can also download the full install file for SSR which includes 13 splash screens here (1.6 MB) or its mirror here.

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:
v1.2.5 (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).
