Good timing - I believe this is the first release where you can use
GIF-style (I don't think it does full PNG-style alpha channel)
transparency for the splash images. Contributions welcome. The Dapper
desktop will look very similar to breezy, so the contribution most
likely to be accepted is the one that looks best on the default Breezy
desktop colour.
