6. Customize Splash-Screen

When you start GIMP, you see the splash-screen displaying short status messages while the program is loading all its components.

Of course, you can customize the splash-screen: Create a splashes directory in your personal GIMP folder. The location of this folder depends on your OS:

  • Linux: /home/user_name/.config/GIMP/2.10/

  • macOS: /Users/user_name/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/

  • Windows: C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\

Copy your image(s) into this splashes directory. On start, GIMP will read this directory and choose one of the images at random.

Make sure that your images aren’t too small.
