Be that as it may, Adobe's desire for conformity should not deprive
users of the ability to set their own color schemes. Just a little
matter of user control that the Adobe mandarins of design seem
unwilling to surrender.
That said, it would be a welcome addition to the entire Windows
interface to allow users to assign different color schemes to
different apps. I would like to be able to distinguish my FM windows
from my Visio or Excel or what have you by color instead of all apps
being presented in a tuberculous ward gray.
So yes, IMHO the CS splash screens are now uniformly pathetically ugly.

Frink: Well, sure, the Frinkiac-7 looks impressive, don't
touch it, but I predict that within 100 years, computers
will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so
expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will
own them.
Apu: Could it be used for dating?
