Request: Please make spash screen NOT always on top

On my computer, XChange Viewer does not always start up very quickly (especially with recent versions). This is not a problem at all---I can wait. But it is really annoying that the splash screen is always-on-top, and obscures other windows. No other programs that I know of have always-on-top splash screens.

Please make the XChange Viewer splash screen not always-on-top if possible.

I disabled splashscreen to avoid this. Or don't you wan't do disable it?

If PDF-XChange is taking a long time (more than five seconds) to start up, that is not to be expected. Either you're PC is rather low-spec, or you have some other problem worth investigating.

Turn off the splash screen in preferences. It won't make start any slower — in Adobe Reader 6, the splash screen used to slow down startup significantly, but only a cold start (first time it was run).

As I said, my complaint is NOT about startup speed (not everyone has the latest machine).

I disabled the spash screen. This makes things much better, but I believe that XChange Viewer would still be a better program if the splash screen weren't always on top.

Hi,

To be honest there is a little point in having a spalsh screen if its not on top - but as soon the timer is finished - or you click anywhere on the splash screen - it will close.

HTH

Actually when it first appears, it will be on top even if it is not always-on-top, as with any other window. I have seen no other programs that force the splash screen to stay on top even if the user clicks elsewhere.

There are many - but do we really want to waste time discussing this ?

If you switch off in the preferences - or click on it, no splash screen, the issue is then, academic.
