No problem at all, I was not offended at all.
I got the question a couple of time about turning off the splash. I was just wonder if there are an issue with it that I have not noticed my self. Sometimes people want to turn off or change sometime because of some reason. But when I get the information about 'why' it is a problem, I sometime finds a better fix for the problem they have. Maybe it on some system is there for a long time and is annoying in some way.. I don't know. But would like to know.
One more. I have a backup of Xml files into Zip file. If in future if there are any later updated versions and I instal them over my present version, do I need to over write Xml files to retain my customized settings in earlier version Sir.
When updating using the built in update tool the configuration files will not be overwritten so the settings you made know should be kept.
Also if you uninstall and do a reinstall you can choose not to remove configuration when uninstalling.
If you running portable version. And are NOT updating using the update tool. Then make sure you do not overwrite the files in the config/ folder or backup them
