Answer 1

What you need is a splash screen, thats what the transparent image is called,

You can use pyQt to do this, it can be done via the code

if __name__ == '__main__':

    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)

    splash_pix = QtGui.QPixmap('img_name.jpg')
    splash = QtGui.QSplashScreen(splash_pix, QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)
    splash.show()

    def login():
        splash.close()
        if Login().exec_() == QtGui.QDialog.Accepted:
            global window
            window = Main_Window()
            window.show()
        else:
            app.quit()

    show_time = 5000 # time in seconds * 1000 (milliseconds), hence 5 seconds = 5000 ms
    QtCore.QTimer.singleShot(show_time, login)

    sys.exit(app.exec_())

The code is originally by Splash screen in pyqt

Could not flag it as duplicate due to lack of accepted answer, please accept this so this can be done for the future

In terms of functionality it works, i have used it before
