Hi guys
An Application written in c#/mono takes up to 7 seconds to start. So i was asked to do a little splash screen for it.
I coul'd not figure out how to do it from shell and i couldn't find the pygtk bindings installed, so i did it quick and dirty in mono showing just an animated gif and killing the process after the applicaiton started.
The problem with this Solution is that the splash screen itself takes up to 3 seconds to show up, which is quite long.
Any idea how i could do it from shell or maybe in python or c? Thing is, i can't install any new libraries on that system so it has to be done with the very basic stuff that comes with the xserver.
Window manager is fvwm. And i would like to stick with the animated gif, since i already have it.
Lg, Archdove
display (imagemagic) is probably installed. But how can i deactivate the window decorator? It would also help if i could just set the window title by my self since there is a rule (which i cannot alter or add one more) to do this for special windows.

Got it with the -title switch... don't know if it will help me tough
I just keep updateing here... the tool animate has to be used to animate the gif.
So what i still need to know is how i can set the exact position of the window to be shown.
animate -geometry 100%+0+300 -delay 10 -title windowTitle loading14.gif - BÄM!
