i'll second that!

something to bear in mind for v1.1, maybe :)

Congrats thecolclough!! Hopefully we can have these every 5 "point" versions or so, that'd be a lot of fun! :)

As an idle bystander I actually found all the entries great!
I was about to suggest that they all should be included and shown in rotation, so that none of these efforts would be wasted, but I didn't want to disrupt the competition so I later considered maybe PM Steve about letting the competition run but in fact put all the entries into final product, but(again) I eventually backed out after rethinking that the extra splash screens would bloat the executable further.
Eventually this doesn't matter! Apparently Steve had already thought of this and settled this in a much better way by putting the extra screens into an external file (which I suppose could be deleted if someone is really that desperate to save those 2+ MB disk space).
Instead of seeing a fixed splash screen, I'd like to see all of them from time to time though, so I'll suggest maybe we should have a random mode (or just rotate the screens in order each time Anim8or starts) in future releases, maybe using "-splash -1" or whatever as parameter.

I was thinking somthing along the lines of this.... 8) .. Just a quick mock-up!
The "deposit" would probably look more effective if it was mainly dripping from the top edge(s) of one or more letters down the face, and maybe even pooling on the floor below, however I've just quickly grabbed what I could from imagery on the web, so it's not very effective, but is just to give some idea of what I was thinking.... :)

So, while I've uploaded the official v1.0 release here with thecolclough's winning "Red Letter Day" as the new splash screen, I've also included a .dll that with all the entries. Place this file in the same directory as anim8or.exe and it will use a different one each time it's run. Or, to always see your favorite you can use the command line:
anim8or.exe -splash #
where # is a number from 1 to 7. (I added the original Anim8or splash as number 7 even though it wasn't in the contest. Hope nobody minds!)

As far as I can see it randomly selects an image, cannot get it keep displaying a single favourite!
