Adobe's Lightroom team really need to get their s**t together. The whole program is getting heavier and heavier at each version. They still can't even get pinch-to-zoom right. Clipping path service
> Darn. Just did a minor update to 19.1.1 AND GUESS WHAT?

Yup. Customary to keep the same splash screen until the next full version, which will be. . . let me see. . . oh. . . Photoshop CC. Names and Splash Screens—not the most important features—until they become THE features to trip us all up. LOL
If we get up to 10 pages on this one topic before then, do you think they'll let us customize it or turn it off? '-}
Okay - simple simple solution for those of us who've done this already AND keep BACKUPS of files. 😉
I just dumped the 3 resource files that I successfully snagged last week (which I had backed up in my Back Up Place) into the "resource" folder of the new 19.1.1 photoshop icon/package. All is hap-happ-happy again here! 😄
(so another thought is, before updating make sure you copy your modified resource files BEFORE updating. Then just dump them back in after the update.)
Or you can, as Cristen says above, wait until the next "number version" update of this fine old app.
On both of my pcs, I installed 19.1.1 then replaced the three files and when I booted next day Photoshop had error and had to reinstall it. She's BACK.
Will try with rerunning psccicon program again.

Actually, Adobe staff does come here virtually daily and help out, but disliking the #MeToo lady doesn't require technical help, and any way we hack their software to swap out the image isn't something they should be helping us with. For Feature Requests they may or may not comment, but I think you can see that it really wouldn't be appropriate for them to say much about this particular request.
If you care, vote, (I don't see a whole lot of votes for all this is a very long thread) but I don't see that it matters if an Adobe Staff member addresses it, and it might be rude for them comment on something as much about personal taste as this is. I may not like the image personally, but I haven't heard a great argument yet for turning the Splash Screen image over to the individual user—I can only think of the fact that we all like to customize our workspaces. Every school book that had to be covered got the user's personal touch, and from that day on, we have liked to control what we have to look at. '-}
That doesn't mean we have a particular right for a company to make us the Splash Screen artist. Adobe could equally point out that Splash Screens are part of the "branding" that every company creates, and not something for the user to have any say in, and they'd be just as right—although in my opinion, it's not a tradition that can't be reconsidered since it's hardly fatal if we do swap out the official release image.
I actually don't want to hide the Splash screen because it provides somewhat useful information when launching—I can at least see where it appears to be hanging if the launch is going too slowly. Change the image? I can go along with that.
Is there way to keep splash screen but without an image (however I see it's one big image separated into 2 parts). I didn't check it yet fully but normally there are loading some settings during spash screen. Do they now though there's no splash screen, or they are not connected to that graphics but are read/set on their own? I'm asking as Ps launches now so fast
It may be political. The woman is upset because her preferred candidate didn't win. The glass ceiling fell on her. It's effective art, albeit cringe-worthy in a professional environment.
