SplashAbout Component
by minesadorada@charcodelvalle.com
This is a Lazarus component that installs in the 'Additional' tab.
Property page screenshot
Purpose
When starting a new application, just drop the component onto your form, and in the Form.Create() method, call SplashAbout1.ShowSplash. This will display a splash dialog. Setting a few easy properties will personalise your splash screen.
In your Help/About handler, call SplashAbout1.ShowAbout. This will display an 'About' dialog for your application.
In both cases, the dialogs are constructed 'on-the-fly' and destroyed when closed. Thus few extra resources are added to your application.
License
SplashAbout is issued under a standard GPL license. Use it as you wish; improve it as you will.
