Developing a Splash Screen...

I am attempting to add a Splash Screen to a Pharo project. I currently use the following to bring up the image:

(ImageReadWriter formFromFileNamed: 'C:\Users\npingito\Documents\Smalltalk\Splash Screen\splash.bmp') asMorph openInWorld

my question is, how can I close this image after a delay, such as after 10 seconds, and is there a better construct to use?

[Delay forSeconds: 5.
image delete.] fork

A tiny correction:

[ (Delay forSeconds: 5) wait.
image delete ] fork.

You may wanna do this in the #startUp method of your class, and register it to the startup list by doing Smalltalk addToStartUpList: YourClass.

Cheers!
