How to disable or change IntelliJ IDEA splash screen?
To disable the splash screen add -Dnosplash=true in Help | Edit Custom VM Options or nosplash=true in Help | Edit Custom Properties.
It can be also disabled by running with nosplash command line option. For example, idea.exe nosplash (on Windows).
You can modify the menu/desktop shortcut to run with this parameter automatically.There is also a feature request to make it a setting, feel free to vote.
In case you want to change the image, it's loaded from this file:<IDEA_DIR>\lib\resources.jar\idea_logo.png.
My solution is for PhpStorm but it will be the same on other JetBrains IDEs.
- Open the
phpstorm.vmoptions(phpstorm64.vmoptionson 64bit systems) file that is in your IDEbindirectory. - Add a
-nosplashline at the end of the file.
Splash screen will remain, but won't be on the top.
Update
Doesn't work in PhpStorm 2017.2
Unrecognized option: -nosplash
File->Setting then "Appearance & Behavior"->"System Settings". uncheck "Reopen last project at startup"
Let me add this is Intellij 2017.1.3
