Splash engine in KDE 4 provides GUI customization tools for the KDE desktop environment, allowing users to create their own themes and animations for boot-up and login screens.
KSplasherX is a powerful splash engine specifically designed for KDE 4. With this software, you can create functional Splash Screens that are easy to test and edit. However, the scalability of these screens can be a bit of an issue, as the editor screen displays the final result. This means that if you need bigger icons, you will need to use a smaller background or resize your icons before using them within KSplasherX.
One of the great features of this software is the ability to save your work as a Directory or .tar.gz file. You can also change author info and other settings to ensure that your splash screen correctly reflects your desired branding. That being said, editing a splash screen is still unimplemented due to the numerous options listed in the description.txt file. This may require a change from "Editor and Creator" to simply "Creator."
Overall, despite the few limitations mentioned above, KSplasherX is a fantastic program. It provides a robust set of features for creating and testing custom splash screens. If you're looking to add a personal touch to your KDE 4 setup, KSplasherX is definitely worth checking out. Additionally, any help in the form of translations, icons, logos, artwork, or other contributions would be greatly appreciated by the developers.
