lib/Gtk2/Ex/Splash.pm  view on Meta::CPAN

perhaps 1/2 second or so to relieve the monotony of work.  The supplied and
installed C<gtk2-ex-splash> program displays an image file that way.

The splash window is not interactive and doesn't take the keyboard focus
away from whatever the user is doing.  (Is that true of "focus follows
mouse" window manager style though?)  It does consume mouse button clicks
though.

The splash contents are shown as the window background, so it doesn't
require any redraws etc from the application and so continues to display
even if the application is busy doing other things.

=head2 X Request Flushing

The Splash code tries to flush the outgoing X request queue at suitable
times to ensure that a C<< $splash->show() >> etc immediately shows the
splash, or a C<< $splash->destroy() >> etc immediately removes it.  This
seems to work reasonably well, and hopefully there won't be any need for
special specific methods to show and hide.
