3 screenshots showing what the splash screen should look/looks like

I make use of the 'UpdateLayeredWindow' to create/display a fancy looking
transparent splash screen whilst my program (ImgBurn) loads everything it needs
to.

I noticed that 'fancy' splash screen isn't shown under Wine (checked against
v1.3.22 in Ubuntu 11.04). Instead you just see bits of my fallback / legacy
splash screen for old Windows OS (95/98/Me etc) - these are not normally
visible.

Having stepped through all my code, it would appear Wine lies about my call to
'UpdateLayeredWindow' being successful. (If it's not supported/successful, the
program knows to revert to the old splash screen)

I noticed 'IsoBuster' shows a similar layered style splash screen when it loads
in Windows so I tried that under Wine/Ubuntu too - same issue. All you get in
that app is a blank grey box on the screen though.

In order to make it clear that the splash screen isn't functioning correctly,
I've added another set of 'Wine' related images/text to it. These are now the
only ones set to 'visible=true' when 'UpdateLayeredWindow' is supposed to have
worked - but of course they wouldn't normally be visible because the layered
image would be.

I've attached 3 screenshot images.

1. LayeredSplashScreen.png - showing what a layered splash screen looks like -
captured in Windows Vista.

2. StandardSplashScreen.png - showing what a standard/fallback splash screen
looks like (displayed when 'UpdateLayeredWindow' isn't supported/successful) -
captured in Windows Vista having forced the layered one to fail.

3. WineSplashScreen.png - showing what a (supposedly successful) layered splash
screen looks like - captured in Ubuntu 11.04 with Wine 1.3.22.

It's pretty clear that 1 & 3 are nothing alike :)

The way I look at it, either 'UpdateLayeredWindow' needs fixing so it works how
Windows does or it needs to fail properly so the program can deal with the
failure.

According to the changelogs, you (Alexandre Julliard) implemented it in 1.1.5!

I see no stub: or fixme: messages in the terminal output. :-/

If it's only partially implemented, shouldn't it fail (on unsupported stuff)
rather than succeed and just not work/do anything?

It's emulated as best as we can given the current capabilities, but things like
per-pixel alpha or color keying won't work right. A FIXME would have to depend
on the bitmap contents, so it's not really worth the trouble.

Ok, fair enough.

I don't really want to but I guess I'll have to implement a workaround for when
it's running under Wine.
