Customizing splash screen

Hi everyone,
lately I'm compiling the CHDK code on my PC,
I would like to know where is the code responsible
of the splash screen so I could edit it.
Instead of using the grid I'd like to put there
my name as the owner of the camera in case it gets stolen
so I wouldn't have 2 turn off the grid each time.
This way I'd like to keep the CHDK credits at boot time  8)
adding my details to it.
What do you think about it? Any suggestions?

/trunk/core/gui.c - chdk - Trac

line 36 - splashtime, with this value you can customize how long splash will be shown.
line 2070 -    void gui_draw_splash().
there you can customize the actual splash data.
have fun :)

Thanks a lot! That was awesome! Worked like a charm! :-)
Now it would be nice to change the splashtime directly from a GUI menu
instead of keeping it hardcoded. ;-)
I also noticed that the spashtime is considered only when turning on the cam
in shoot mode (I'm using the autoload feature), otherwise the splashtime is
really short (I modified it from 20 to 50 so it can be easily readable)

I don't think it will be useful if splash display time is hardcoded or tuned via menu (small will not suit your purpose. big will not suit you for everyday use).
I think this time must increase with each day's power on without entering some protection "code".
you can see thread Lost or Stolen Camera Security Feature and explain your wishes.
I'm sure people already have come to the idea how it must be done

well, it could modified as to "continue booting (exiting splash) on button press".

Sounds nice, what about using a txt file for the bootsplash so it could be edited easily
without editing and recompiling the code each time?
Obviously for less than dumb thieves is useless because all they have to do is to replace or format the memory card, so I think it's just a light security measure, more useful for lost cameras than stolen ones.
