It's sure super colorful!

It's a good concept. Perhaps if you had some shadowing from the foreground layers onto the layers just behind, you would get a bit more depth from the image.

I like the colors as well, conbaqui!
Just keep in mind what you have in the background of the startup message area. The startup text is normally black but a theme may change that.

Good design and nice colours. Personally, I would like the text to stand out a little more.

I agree with Erisian, I think the text is kinda hidden. You can see it but...not too well.
Very pretty and colorful, nice work!

Looking good, from my point of view I have had no trouble reading the text.

That's improved it nicely.

Very cool! Beautiful look!
Liked the colors

Here is an example of the technique I was talking about with shadowing on multiple layers. Not sure if the same kind of thing would help your splash image pop, but it might.

Wow, that one sure pops, what is that font, I really like it.

The font is TX Jello.

Thanks, I looked in DaFont but this one doesn't look the same at all.
