<h2><a name="Splash">Splash</a></h2>
<p>by Les Hughes (leslie.hughes@rubus.com)
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>This task creates a splash screen. The splash screen is displayed
for the duration of the build and includes a handy progress bar as
well. Use in conjunction with the sound task to provide interest
whilst waiting for your builds to complete...</p>

<h3>Deprecated properties</h3>
The following properties can be used to configure the proxy settings to retrieve
an image from behind a firewall. However, the settings apply not just to this
task, but to all following tasks. Therefore they are now mostly deprecated in
preference to the <setproxy> task, that makes it clear to readers of
the build exactly what is going on. We say mostly as this task's support
includes proxy authentication, so you may still need to use its
proxy attributes.
