Customizing the splash screen

Since Specify version 7.7, splash screen can be customized in user preferences.

Among available options are displaying a custom image or an embedded webpage.

If you chose a custom image, it would replace the Specify 7 image. For reference, the size of the default image is 950x473. The custom image would be scaled automatically to fit in the available space.

Alternatively, you can select to embed a webpage by specifying it's URL. It could be your institution's policy document, a statistics page, or just something interesting for fun.

Note, modern web browsers may not allow embedding a cross-orign webpage without proper response headers. When embedding an HTML page, make sure the page serves properer Access-Control-Allow-Origin and X-Frame-Options headers.
