Update!
The following info is specified by the app developer in the desktop file:
- filename
- background colour
Fields can be
X-Ubuntu-
X-Ubuntu-
If these are set, the splash screen will be generated with a filled background colour (default black), plus the image centered and scaled to fit (if needed).
If these are not set, a fallback splash is used by the shell with a loading animation on a black background
