Animate plug-in
zeeh3 asked me to add AnimateWindow effects to NewAdvSplash, but because of "window region" compatibility problems I wrote new Animate plug-in instead. AnimateWindow() supported in Win98+ and Win2K+, but I added patch for Win95 and NT 4.0 where OleLoadPicturePath presents I guess. No png suport. Free samples included ;)

Thanks, ahmett!

May be 'animate' sounds confusing because this not means animated content but window form and position only. But Animate plug-in may be combined with AnimGif plug-in to show animated gif. Sample attached (require AnimGif.dll).

Too cool to be true... Takhir, you are the man!!! Just one question: does it run in async mode? Thanks a lot :)

Another question: how can we use a slide down plus hide effect after the image appearance?

This is possible with AnimateWindow, but not implemented in plug-in yet. Good idea, may be next weekend I'll find time for this. Thanks :)

/IFNC option added for 'wait' call. Resets 'wait' time if banner was displayed with /NOCANCEL option (banner remains visible even if user clicks it) and banner was clicked by user before 'wait' ('total recall' :) ).

Composite flags for slide-roll added to Readme (thanks zeeh3).
