I agree, the old LimeWire splash screen was slicker, brighter, more professional and just plain better. The new one looks like a step backward. It's the same situation with all the new skins; they're all horrendous compared to Classic. I guess with Limewire they got the look right the first time and shouldn't tinker.

I am interested in your comment about changing the splash screen to something else. How do you do that in Linux?
