If technically possible as a test if the window background is dark and if yes, replace transparency with some white? > I would also like to change some terms used in the startup window.

The "project" has been introduced in the past to de-confuse user coming from "other" GIS. "Location" alone is not quite clear I fear. > Perhaps also, "Start GRASS" should be replaced by > "Start GRASS session" which is something we avoid in documentation but it is > quite crucial to understand how it works.
