Hi,
Provide link as a reference, don't use it as a {whole} description.

Thank you.

Ok, i will do that. Maybe a good description and a link to this thread?

Don't write novels. This can be explained in a few short sentences and a small code sample.

a small fix could be

Code: Select all

This solves the problem for me with using (as suggested before)

Code: Select all

long splashstyle = wxSPLASH_CENTRE_ON_SCREEN | wxSPLASH_TIMEOUT | wxSPLASH_NO_AUTOSHOW;
splash = new mxwSplashScreen(
				bitmap, splashstyle, 
				8000, wxGetApp().getFrame(), ID_MXWSPLASH, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxNO_BORDER | wxSTAY_ON_TOP | wxFRAME_SHAPED);

splash->SetShape(path);
splash->Show(true);

Hi,
You should report it or make a PR on GitHub.
This is user forum made by users - core devs doesn't come here.

Thank you.
