So guys, I have a question. How do I make my own custom Splash Screen for an Opera GX mod? I have some ideas for a new mod but I don't know how to carry out them without knowing how to make the splash screen in the first place.

@Raiden-Z Is it possible to change the splash screen?

Install https://store.gx.me/mods/nsxjip/capybara-party/ and then goto the URL chrome-extension://poigpnphnhiglllbbecbjlaicccglnpb/manifest.json and look at the splash_screen section. You'll see it's just an mp4 video file that it references.

So, use that as an example. (Make sure to use "schema_version": 2 for the mod section like that manifest.json does. It's probably needed to support splash_screen and other mods 2.0 stuff.)

@Raiden-Z Doesn't look like it. I might make an example mod later that does just a splash screen, but I would just try it out.

Here's a minimum manifest.json to have a custom splash screen:

{
    "manifest_version": 3,
    "name": "GX Splash",
    "version": "0.1",
    "icons": {
        "512": "512.png"
    },
    "mod": {
        "schema_version": 2,
        "payload": {
            "splash_screen": [
                {
                    "id": "1",
                    "name": "name",
                    "path": "splash.mp4"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

From what I've seen, splash.mp4 should be h.264 video (1080 x 1080) + aac audio in an mp4 container. The video duration should be 5 seconds. Other formats (like vp9 video + opus audio in a webm container) and resolutions might be supported too, but that at least is what one mod I tested uses.
