WPF XBAP Custom Splash Screen

SplashScreen class (.NET Framework 4.5 Documentation) says:

The SplashScreen class cannot be used in XAML Browser Applications (XBAPs), because they use a different startup architecture.

So i guess there is a need to provide some manual plumbing to change standard XBAP loading screen, looking for any information about this process.

I honestly don't think there's a way. As far as I recall, you have zero control over the XBAP cold start. Your best bet is to improve the startup time. – l46kok
Startup time is not a real problem (whole application with dependent assemblies is like 1.5 mb and is loaded over LAN), the point is xbap is integrated in some information system and user doesn't need to know about the fact he is working in XBAP application at specific point of time. He doesn't see address bar nor have access to html's source, by removing/customizing xbap loader I will persuade him that needed functionality is the part of system. – Jaded
