How to remove the Unity Editor startup splash screen?

Unity Engine

It is so annoying that thing popup every time when I switch project. :rage:

I believe it make sense to add a setting in the Preference to check show or hide the startup splash screen. Please add it in 3.3.

O___o;;

Well it kinda is there for a reason- itā€™s the application loading!!

This. If you remove the splash, it will still take the same time to actually load, just without the image.

Though is it possible to replace it? I want to put something from my own collection there :smile:

If you pull apart the exe or application, maybe. Probs easier to do on a mac, actually. I recall managing to be able to do that sort of stuff in mac os 10.3ā€¦ good times.

you can replace original image resource with empty PNG to ā€œremoveā€ splash screen.

Iā€™m also interested in removing the Editor Splash. Especially so, when running Unity in -batchmode.
For some odd reason, the splash will still come up. The Editor itself will be headless once launched, but in the process of launching the splash/a window comes up. Super annoying and unnecessary.

edit: To make matters worse, the Editor Splash steals and requires focus. You canā€™t force it to run minimized or on another workspace(via the window manager config for instance) without Unity being stopped in its tracks. The splash needs focus or Unity wonā€™t load.
Thatā€™s just terrible, but especially for the -batchmode.

edit2: The -nographics flag does exactly what I need, and unlike what the docs say, works under linux too.
