Example of main:

QPixmap splashImage(&quot;:images/splash.png&amp;quot;);<br />QPixmap splashMask(&quot;:images/splashmask.png&amp;quot;);

customSplashScreen '''splash = new customSplashScreen(splashImage);<br />splash-&gt;setMessageRect(QRect::QRect(7, 253, 415, 14), Qt::AlignCenter); // Setting the message position.
<br />QFont splashFont;<br />splashFont.setFamily(&quot;Arial&amp;quot;);<br />splashFont.setBold(true);<br />splashFont.setPixelSize(9);<br />splashFont.setStretch(125);
<br />splash-&gt;setFont(splashFont);<br />splash-&gt;setMask(splashMask);<br />splash-&gt;setWindowFlags(Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint | Qt::SplashScreen);<br />splash-&gt;show();
<br />/''' To intercept mousclick to hide splash screen. Since the<br />splash screen is typically displayed before the event loop<br />has started running, it is necessary to periodically call. '''/<br />app.processEvents();
<br />splash-&gt;showStatusMessage(QObject::tr(&quot;Initializing…&quot;));
<br />/''' Some code here */
