How to modify the emacs startup screen?

How to modify the emacs startup screen?

[徐盛]

Hi!
Every time I start emacs, I see the startup screen,
althouth I know that I can turn it off, but I'd like
to modify it to meet my needs.

I know that modify the startup.el before building the
emacs can help. but I don't know how to insert a Google
search in the startup screen.

Thanks in advance!

You can set fancy-splash-text in ~/.emacs ; for example:

(setq fancy-splash-text
      '(
        (:face (variable-pitch :weight bold) "
WELCOME TO EMACS!
")
        (:face (variable-pitch :weight bold) "
-%- WELCOME TO EMACS -%-
")))

But if you want to start a browser, then add at the end of your
~/.emacs :

   (require 'w3m)
   (w3m-browse-url "http://www.google.com/")
