Like many people here, I've disabled the default splash screen of Firefox Portable. I am using the Add On SPLASH! to make a photo of my Gran daughter my splash screen.
Over the course of my work day, I may use 4-5 PCs. Is there any way to make the path of the .jpg that SPLASH! uses relative? That would allow her photo to always be my splash screen instead of getting a blank box when the drive shows up as anything other than E://
I've search the forums and haven't found anything about this.
Thanks in advance,
Berdar

Download nsis from Sourceforge
Goto the portablefirefox directory, others, firefoxportablesource
in there is a nis file and a jpg, replace the jpg with the image you want and simply recompile. never used nsis before and took me a few moments to figure it out.
you then have a firefoxportable.exe that has the new splash screen built in.
The author of the extension posted here and he has added the following:
%PROFILE% or something like that.
Put it in your profile folder and then use
%PROFILE%\hi.jpg----

But I'm having a bit of an issue.
I've downloaded NSIS and the required plugins.
I've loaded the NIS file and found the following lines.
DisplaySplash:
StrCmp $DISABLESPLASHSCREEN "true" SkipSplashScreen
;=== Show the splash screen before processing the files
InitPluginsDir
File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\splash.jpg "${NAME}.jpg"
newadvsplash::show /NOUNLOAD 2000 200 0 -1 /L $PLUGINSDIR\splash.jpg
I know that I have to past my .jpg in to one of these lines and I've tried them all. Which one?
Also, where should I copy my .jpg to? It seems that it needs to be somewhere other than a file in the /firfoxportable dir.
Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience

Must be in the FirefoxPortableSource directory and be named FirefoxPortable.jpg
The line:
File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\splash.jpg "${NAME}.jpg"does it.
${NAME} equates to FirefoxPortable so FirefoxPortable.jpg

Person 1: Oh my god. You will never believe what just happened.
Person 2: What?
Person 1: I can't remember, I've forgotten.
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
I renamed my jpg to firefoxportable.jpg then placed it in the FirefoxPortableSource dir.
I then opened the NIS file with NSIS and recompiled. Because of the name change, I shouldn't have to change any of the script, correct?
Thanks again for all of your help

No changes needed in the script.

Any more ideas?
I'm not sure what else I can do.
Thank you everyone.
I wasn't replacing the EXE file in the Firefoxportable directory with the one that NSIS created.
Thank you all again.
