I will certainly look at those splash screens as well and get back to you.

So, it was done wrong to start with and so it will never be fixed?

Do you mean that the splash for 3.1RC2 won't be the default for the 
release??

Again, you miss the point, but I will look at the other splash screens 
first.

As I am sure you know, they can be adjusted for any shade (126 of them) 
between those in the: "splash-3.1" directory (which I did not change the 
tonal range of) and those in the: "splash-3.1-0" directory (now changed 
to splash-3.1-127).

I will post "63" if you find "127" too extreme.

I find the "Blue Crystal" icons to be too light.  If you check the 
histogram of them, you can see why.  Almost all of the values are 
between 128 and 255.
