The title says it all - it is so ugly I had to disable it.

Why not a nice neutral abstract thing as usual?

Peter Jacobsen  Thanks for the feedback. The design team collects feedback on the artwork and counts how many users switch to the simplified splash screen. Similar feedback is tracked in IJPL-260698, you can share yours as well or vote for an existing one. The blog posts AI Graphics at JetBrains: The Story and Intelligent Code Art describe some recent approaches.

I cannot for the life of me find the “use simplified splash screen” option in the latest release of Rider.

This option is only available in IntelliJ. For all other products you can only disable the splash screen:

Add -Dnosplash=true in Help | Edit Custom VM Options or nosplash=true in Help | Edit Custom Properties.
