is there any possiility to show a splash screen before a render window is created?

I imagine you would just want to create a splash screen renderwindow first, delete/remove this one and display your main one. Look for sf::Style (i think) to remove the borders.

I apologise if I'm incorrect, but that's what I would try.

Another question here: Can you make a no-border window with a custom shape? I would like to render a PNG image with transparency (you can see the Desktop) for example.

No you can't. At least, not with SFML.
