## 3. Customize Splash-Screen

When you start GIMP, you see the splash-screen displaying short status messages while the program is loading all its components.

You can customize the splash-screen:

1. Create a `splashes` directory inside your personal GIMP configuration folder.

2. Copy your image(s) into this `splashes` directory.

On start, GIMP will read this directory and choose one of the images at random.

| Tip
Make sure that your images aren't too small.
