Splash screen feature while downloading or installing files

[Tremeschin]

I want it too, just worried it might make it harder to cross compile for multiple platforms as some level of windowing system or graphics API will be required. Even in pure Python it should be kinda annoying to do. I'm open to some rust example doing it without these issues!

Are splash screens even used anymore? I guess it makes sense for pure GUI applications..

Main problem is the initial installation time that should be visible. Just an idea, but what if it always opens in window mode, then closes itself after installation and calls a hidden window with same arguments?

Honestly, this only makes sense under #4, and maybe if possible on Linux/macOS, most definitely with a log #4 (comment)

Options may include https://www.egui.rs/ or https://iced.rs/, whatever is more minimal
