Be that as it may, Adobe's desire for conformity should not deprive
users of the ability to set their own color schemes. Just a little
matter of user control that the Adobe mandarins of design seem
unwilling to surrender.
That said, it would be a welcome addition to the entire Windows
interface to allow users to assign different color schemes to
different apps. I would like to be able to distinguish my FM windows
from my Visio or Excel or what have you by color instead of all apps
being presented in a tuberculous ward gray.
So yes, IMHO the CS splash screens are now uniformly pathetically ugly.

the UI brightness and it does make the toolbars, icons, etc. easier

I'll just try to ignore the grayness. Sure makes me wonder what was
Adobe
thinking when they choose gray as their cross platform corporate
look.
I'm sure it relates to the fact that Adobe flagship products (which
generate some 75% of their revenue if I remember the numbers from an
Adobe annual report) are applications for generating and
manipulating graphics and images, where you don't want the color of
GUI elements to affect the perception of the colors of the graphics
being worked on. GUI neutrality is necessary for those kinds of
tools; and since it doesn't really matter for text-oriented apps,
consistency won out.

Frink: Well, sure, the Frinkiac-7 looks impressive, don't
touch it, but I predict that within 100 years, computers
will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so
expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will
own them.
