NCH Software Customizations

See how you can get your own customized NCH software.

NCH Software can build a standard custom version of any of our Windows desktop applications. This customization allows you to create a brand image, and refers to customers to you for more sales. See below for a full explanation of what the customization includes. For a full list of our software please see our complete software list.

1. Splash Screen

The splash screen is displayed every time you run the application.
A standard customization allows you to change the following:

Your name / URL in the 'distributed by' area
Your logo / graphics as the splash screen

The logo / graphic image dimensions should be 340 pixels wide and 198 pixels high.

2. Help Menu
The help menu can be found on the file menu toolbar in any of our applications.
As part of a standard customization we include your logo, name and website just as they are displayed on the Splash screen. Your website can link to a web page of your choice.
For registered resellers the Purchase link is redirected to your website.

3. About Box
The about box is displayed when a user selects 'About [program name]...' from the bottom of the help menu.
As part of a standard customization you may include your company details including your name and website. Your website can link to a web page of your choice.
For registered resellers the Purchase Online link is redirected to your website.
