Tore Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Just a little and kind'a silly question: What is distinctly african about the color scheme "African Gray"? Oh, and another one: is it possible to turn the splash screen off, say in the preferences or otherwise?
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 25, 2017 Hash Fellow Posted August 25, 2017 Just a little and kind'a silly question: What is distinctly african about the color scheme "African Gray"? Perhaps it was a nod to the monochrome styling of some traditional African art... Oh, and another one: is it possible to turn the splash screen off, say in the preferences or otherwise? No, it is not. When this has been discussed before, Martin has said that the splash screen should remain.
Tore Posted August 25, 2017 Author Posted August 25, 2017 Thanks for the answers, Robert! (Love especially the first african mask, square mouth and all) Regarding splash screen: it could be argued that - in the name of personal freedom of choice - there should be an user option to turn it on and of...
*A:M User* Roger Posted August 27, 2017 *A:M User* Posted August 27, 2017 African Grey is a type of parrot. I think that may be what the color is referring to. 2
whatsthenews Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Oh, and another one: is it possible to turn the splash screen off, say in the preferences or otherwise? You can use a resource hacker to replace the splash screen image though if that is your problem with it. 1

a.quaihoi Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Yeah a very very smart parrot ! That’s the theme I use in AM - grey space places more emphasis on the model and modelling in space and is great on the eyes, I usually also set object lines to black and unselected points to red and selected points to black, find the interface to be easier on the eyes
Fuchur Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 I use "Professional" or "Professional v2" all the time... I created them once and we got them to be delivered by default. If you have another one please share them :). Best regards *Fuchur*
*A:M User* Roger Posted September 1, 2019 *A:M User* Posted September 1, 2019 Whatever happened to the parrot? Is it pining for the fjords?
pixelplucker Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 I actually had a congo african gray (all black beak) and a timna african gray (tan upper beak). Congo had a mean streak, the timna was about the friendliest bird. not that it even matters but just wanted to randomly blurt that out. Most don't know there are different types. Cute story the timna picked up the door knock sound perfectly and the congo would hollar out Hello?!. Drove us crazy.
