Splash Screen
The default KDE splash screen
The splash screen is the animated image or screen that is displayed while
KDE loads after you log in. Each user can have a different splash screen.
Changing the splash screen for the current user can be done in the Splash
Screen module of the KDE Control Center. Select the splash screen you want to
use and click on . You can also test what a splash
screen will look like by selecting the splash screen and clicking on
. Installing a new splash theme is very easy. Just
click on and browse to the splash screen archive you
want to add. There is no need to extract the contents of the archive. Removing
splash screens is also easily done by selecting the splash screen and clicking
on . Note that you cannot remove splash screens
installed by the administrator (root)
or by your distribution's package manager.
Splash screen themes can be found on kde-look.org, in the Splash Screens section. Take note that some splash screens require a specific KSplash engine to be installed.
