How to Change the Gimp Startup Screen Picture



:bulletgreen:Do you know the annoying picture that pops up when (The) Gimp is loading? That one that (if you have the latest version) has the planet on it? Well, in this tutorial i will show you how to replace that image with your own!

:bulletorange:First, make or get a picture of any sort. I would recommend over 100x100 px, but lower than 1000x600 (depending on your screen resolution). Also, make sure that the image is .png, otherwise it will not work!

:bulletgreen:Save/Rename the image "gimp-splash.png" (without the quotes).

:bulletorange:Move it to this directory:

C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\images


You may not have a C:\ drive. But all you want for that is your HD (hard drive), which if not C:\, it will be another letter. Now, the path I showed you may be different for you, depending on where you installed Gimp. (The path I showed you is the default installation path)

Now close Gimp if it is open, and next time you start up Gimp, you will see another, better picture! If you need any help, see a typo, or don't understand one of the directions, I will be happy to help:)
