Get Rid Of Ipodder Splash Screen?


Recommended Posts

I like iPodder to catch my podcasts, but that d@mn splash screen that takes up real estate on my monitor is killing me. I HATE IT!! You can't do anything because it is in your way. Does anyone know if you can get rid of it completely?? Maybe hex it out or something???PUHLEEEEZE!!!! It's killing me!!

One idea that's worked for me in various programs: Search the Windows Registry for the product name and see if there's an obvious setting for "splash." A value of "0" usually turns it off (if it exists).

I found the registry entry for ipodder. All it says is

Name:(Default)

Type:REG_SZ

Data:(value not set)

Uh-huh, they don't want you to turn it off.      <_<

At this point I'd do a web search for something like:

IPODDER SPLASH SCREEN DISABLE

If the manufacturer has a fix, it'll turn up. If others have found the solution, it'll turn up.

I've been looking, haven't found anything. If anyone finds something, please let me know. My Google talk name is Brian.Honaker

I'm using windows, but I assume this will work for whatever version you have.

Replace C:\Program Files\ipodder\images\splashscreen.bmp with the smallest valid bitmap image you can make. It will still show up but be less intrusive.

Bonus: it makes the app load a lot faster.

I _hate_ splash screens.
