A splash screen is a graphical control element consisting of window containing an image, a logo and the current version of the software. A splash screen usually appears while a game or program is launching. The term may also be used to describe an introduction page on a website (in which case it's often referred to as a splash page^[1][2]). Splash screens cover the entire screen or web page, or simply a rectangle near the center of the screen or page. The splash screens of operating systems and some applications that expect to be run full-screen usually cover the entire screen. Splash screens are typically used to notify the user that the program is in the process of launching. Splash screens can contain useful information or tips about the program. A splash page is a form of web page which can be used to give the visitor basic information, such as a language setting. Splash pages can also be used for warnings about gambling, pornographic images ands videos or alcohol sales.^{[citation needed]}
