Nice tutorial. I find it important to note that you can disable the splash screen spinner by placing this into the config.xml: I personally find the spinner distracting since it often shows up right in the middle of your logo :-)
Hi Joshua, How would one go about animating their icon / splash screen? i noticed all your sources at 0:54 are .png's. At 6:18 i see your splash screen animating. afaik .png's don't animate? looking forward to your reply ^^
