Size and Install of Splash

Post by parljohn » Tue Nov 26, 2013 12:30 am

Like the ability to add our own splash screen. 2 Questions about it:
1. Can you tell us the ideal size of the splash screen and if there any required text we should be displaying in it?
2. How do you get the Splash.jpg to automatically install on every computer?

Thanks for your help.

To use your own .jpg file as a splash screen when Open Dental is launched, simply place the .jpg file in the Open Dental installation folder. This file will then be used instead of the Open Dental splash screen. Recommended image size: 500 x 300 px.

We currently do not have a way to automatically install the splash screen on each computer. The process to replace the splash screen is fairly simple though.

You should be able to put the custom splash image in your UpdateFiles folder in your OpenDentImages share. Then when the computers do an update, they'll copy the splash to their respective installation folder. I haven't tested this out to make sure it works but in theory it should.
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.
