      For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, here's the new splash screen.

              We have @Rookervik to thank for the newly improved splash. It was my longest standing pull request. And it was only once @pjft fixed the black background.

              I think it looks swell. Sucks for all the people who hacked their video splashes to end in a white screen but eh. Looks better regardless. Less blinding when I play games at 2AM

                  Maybe it will help save a little bit of power when booting on battery powered handhelds ;-)

                  Following the same reasoning, I think that the @mattrixk 's IO theme can help in this point as well. ;-)

                    @meleu I'm not used to people remembering Io exists. I'm halfway though making it work with Video Previews, but I got distracted.

                      Well, I think people willing to save battery won't use this feature... :)

                        @meleu That is a valid point.
