So I know this a repost. Apparently I was asking in the wrong place. So some don't get confused I know I can delete the splash screen and I can disable it in advancesettings.
But what I want to do is maybe with json disable it. I know I can change other core settings using Jon but I am not sure how to go about turning this off. As it is not a normal setting.?
And useful help without belittlement would be welcome. Thanks.

Alright... Not even if I can phase the advancedsetting and just add and subtract that one part. Since there doesn't seem to be a rpc setting that already does it?

Honestly, Its two reasons. One being I just started playing around with the python a little more, the color matching thing was a bit much for my noobie skill set, considering I have no formal introduction to python and have a lot to learn.
With that I was playing around the other day and found the json to change the skin from within python, of course the user has to confirm this change. So I know people add there own custom splashes and not that I always do, but I have disabled the Kodi splash before more so because I could that any other reason. But with that I just wanted to play around and see if I could accomplish this from python within kodi. Also I just found the elm tree stuff thought it was pretty cool and just thought this might would have been useful while learning. because honestly in my coding journey with Kodi I have learnt a lot but haven't been able to help the community in any real way. more so just bugging all of you that actually know what your doing.
I had not really though about the fact that it would be debranding of Kodi and I can see way it wouldn't be a good idea.

Well a couple things actually.. the biggest is life has put it on hold for the most part been working on house plans. Also I have kinda been trying to explore some other ideas, as one of my testers has decided to include my ideas into there mods, which takes away from the uniqueness I was shooting for thus putting a pause on the direction I was going.
I know overall all skins have the same base core, but I had actually manages to blend apple and google design imo with a full working blur and color changing attributes that work fairly well on a pc running i5 up or NVidia shield. And I spent a month developing a addon that allowed me to have a widget with different artwork but all still sized appropriately. So you had posters, fanart, thumbs, album cover and it all was clean. But after parts seems to surface early I just lost some motivation to disturb until I get a more complete skin.
As you and any skinner here knows there is a lot of hours that go into producing a skin, and just have someone rip them to another skin doesn't sit with me to well.
But it happens so instead of pushing to finish it I am just putting it on the back burner and tinkering with it when I need a break of other things. Plus this python code is very intriguing. If only I understood more the possibilities seem endless.
So yeah that the long answer, short answer I am no were near finished, and yes it was uniplex.
