Splash screen with image of transparent background

Hi,

I am using compiler to build up a standalone application. I download an image with a trnasparent background form web. I use this image as my splash screen, however, insteading showing the image with transparent background, it shows with black background. Is there a correct way to show transparent background imagein splash window?

Thanks,

Chao

Hi Kalyan:

Thanks for your response. However, the answer is still not clear to me. Would you mind listing eact steps on how to achieve this? I spend time searching the solutions online but no positive results. I think the answer will benefit others too.

With some futher study, I notice that the image I use for the splash screen, is actually transparent. The problem seems the splash window when building the standalone app using Matlab compiler gives a black background. If this is corret, is there any way to set the splash screen window transparent? Thanks

Same here. I have a png with a transparent background, the "background" is shown black and not transparent on loading the deployed app.

Not an essential feature, but it would make the app look nice!

Nearly 6 years and still no alpha channel support on splash screen images... disappointing.

Hi Chao Gong,

I too encountered the similar issue, splash screen mechanism does not handle transparencies in images. This is the reason it shows a black background for the splash screen while executing the standalone application. The workaround that worked for me was to edit the image to have a non-transparent background.
