Usage
Usage of Splasher

Overview:

Splasher is a non-harmful bitmap substitution program specifically for the WINDOWS 95(c) Operating System.  If you enjoy art and wish to make alternate images your boot-up, and shut-down splash screens, this program was designed for YOU!

Bitmap Size:

In order for the splash screens to be successfully substituted, all replacement images must be 320x400 pixels in size and have a pallette of 256 COLORS.  Bitmaps of other sizes and palettes can be stretched, or squished to the correct proportion in the Windows 95 Paint Program, or a third-party utility, such as PhotoLab, or Paint Shop Pro (My Favorite).

Splasher.Ini File:

     The file SPLASHER.INI, included in the zip you downloaded, contains important information to the successful operation of SPLASHER.  The PATHS section of the file should only be modified if C:\ IS NOT the root  directory of your Windows drive, and C:\WINDOWS is not your Windows 95 directory.

Splasher’s User Interface is very self-explanatory, but if further help is needed click on a button of the image below


How It Works
How Splasher Works

Basically, Splasher does some undercover work on system files to replace the dull and boring Microsoft dictated images with your choice of bitmaps.
