plumpmath / splasher

A small splash screen library for Clojure GUI apps

Splasher

A small library built on Seesaw / Swing for splash screens. You know, those annoying windows with splashy graphics that appear briefly, usually to distract the user while the rest of the application is loading.

Usage

Add dependency to project.clj:

 [eigenhombre/splasher "0.0.2"]

Use splash!, something like the following (see src/splasher/example.clj):

 (ns try-splasher.core
   (:gen-class)
   (:require [splasher.core :refer [splash!]]))
 
 
 (defn -main []
   (splash! (clojure.java.io/resource "splash.png") :duration 2000)
   (System/exit 0))

Duration defaults to 2500 msec.

The splash image file should be located in the project resources directory for your project (usually resources/), as shown.

The System/exit is required for your Seesaw / Swing app to exit.

In the Splasher project, lein run will run the included example.
