Do you know the spring banner that appears at the start of the application?
It’s possible to change the spring draw for whatever we want.

:: Spring Boot :: (v2.7.7)Let’s create a file called banner.txt in ./src/resources directory. The content of this file is:
#################################################
# Spring Kafka Demo #
# author: mmarcosab #
# creation date: 15/01/2023 #
# repo: https://github.com/mmarcosab/kafka-demo #
#################################################This will appear at the start of the application. Like this:
A lot of people draw something and it’s very interesting. I prefer to organize some useful information like URL repo, some docs, or contacts.
We can also use images, and spring waits for a file called banner.gif. In this example I used this image:
And the result was:
If you wanna change the location of the image, use this property:
spring.banner.image.location=And these properties change some properties of the image:
spring.banner.image.width=
spring.banner.image.height=
spring.banner.image.margin=
spring.banner.image.invert=That’s it for today.
