Changing Your Eclipse Diamond Logo

Thanks to Keith Vincent and e-Tip No. 80!

If you’ve got a photo of kids or critters on your Windows desktop,
you’re not alone. Well, you can display a favorite image on your
Eclipse desktop, too, and it will be visible anytime there’s not an
open text file or dictionary or notes file in the foreground.
Splash.jpg is the name of the image file that is displayed
on the Eclipse desktop. The standard Splash file displays the Eclipse
diamond logo, but you can substitute a different JPEG file. It’s easy.

Here’s how to do it.
In the C: drive of your computer, open the “Program Files” folder.
There you should find the “Advantage Software” folder. Open that
folder and you should find the “EclipseNT” folder. That is the folder
that you want to open to make a small change.

Once you’ve opened the “EclipseNT” folder, you can find the
Splash.jpg file. Don’t delete that file, but just go ahead and rename it as
“Old Splash.jpg.”

Now copy your favorite JPEG image file and paste it into the
EclipseNT folder. Then right-click on the name of that image file and
you should see a context menu that offers the option to “Rename.” You
want to give your favorite image file the name “Splash.jpg.”
Once the EclipseNT folder contains your favorite image
file and that file is called “Splash.jpg,” then Eclipse will
display that instead of the familiar diamond logo.
