    Default Spash screen for 18

    I like the art on the latest iteration a lot better than previous attempts, but being a creature of habit, I created one, all vectors and way happy with the idea that an "X" could be a disjointed set of stairs. Thanks Dali, thanks Magritte!

    Why doesn't anyone do something creative with typeface choice? :(

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    I wanted to work backwards a little bit, so in keeping with the theme colors I chose for the v18 iteration, and a solid use of typography, I drew this abstract construct based on some work in the late, great Groboto modeling program.

    It's just my own idiosyncrasy, but by putting actual art examples on a splash screen, I can immediately tell when I've screwed up and loaded the wrong version. I keep 'em loaded back to Xtreme 5, because why not? Like they take up a lot of space when a 1 TB thumb drive is half the price of the program!


    My Best,

    Gary
