Time: 5 minutes

Experience needed: Basic understanding of Threads and the flow of applications

In this tutorial you will learn how to create an application that displays a splash form for x seconds.

The benefits for this are: if you have a form that takes a while to load up (for insastance one that does a lot of Database interaction) the user will sit there wondering why your app is not open yet.

With a splash screen you can give the user something pretty to look at to keep them happy.

Grub manipulation

Recently, I installed Fedora 15 on my laptop alongside Windows 7. The Grub screen was as provided by fedora, and I wanted to make some changes to it to suit my needs and pleasure.

Here I have discussed how I went about it.

It should be noted that my methods work in fedora, but should work on other linux distibutions as well with a few minor changes. In case of any doubts or suggestions, please contact me at nardz07@gmail.com.
