What you need to do is to have the splash screen in the initial window, with only a single item to allow navigation (which can be effectively hidden by making it's dimensions 1 pixel * 1 pixel).

In the WHEN_NEW_FORM_INSTANCE trigger, you then create a timer with an expiry time of 5000 (milliseconds), on expiry of which you display the required main screen.
