Native SplashScreen

[rocksdanister]

WinUI can take time to start, one solution although limited would be to implement native impl similar to wpf:

The SplashScreen class displays the splash screen as soon as possible after the application is started. The splash screen is displayed by using native code, before the WPF application instance is created. The splash screen is displayed in the center of the screen. When the application is loaded, the splash screen fades.

I’m not quite getting your point here? You want an image to show faster? The purpose of WinUIEx’s splash screen is to provide an interactive dialog showing progress etc

In low end systems winui takes time to show ui once you use self-contained runtime etc, so instead of initialising and using winui window for splashscreen it is faster to use native method.
