What kind of weird grunge art splash screen is that? For an art program splash screens typically represent what can be made in the software. If I saw something that ugly by the devs of an art app I’d run.
Typical of the open source world. Full of programmers. Barely any designers/artists.

Hah, they really should bring this back! 😆
I uninstalled Kira because of the splash screen.
