If so, this is a bummer in that it severely limits the creative possibilities.

I guess that depends on how you look at the issue.

One view might be that it is more work to deal with three images.
Another view might look at it as more flexible: a custom emblem, a custom title, and a custom background/main image.

There are three images that form the splash screen.

OpeningBase.bmp is 480 x 234 pixels.
It appears on the screen at coords: X:0,Y:0
This is the background or main image.

Honda_emblem.bmp is 96 x 68 pixels.
It appears on the screen at coords: X:192,Y:36

Navi_Title.bmp is 290 x 16 pixels
It appears on the screen at coords: X:95,Y:137

With a little effort (in PhotoShop perhaps) you could build your own composite image that when combined appeared not to have an emblem or a title. Cut out the pieces of a full image and place them in the parts so they fit seamlessly. Sort of like a puzzle without a visible border for each piece.

Another possibility is to modify the registry and change the coordinates of the emblem and the title. This requires more work. I have successfully rebuilt the registry with several other mods but have not burned a new Nav disc with it yet.

Personally, I think three images is not limiting, but is more flexible - allowing for greater creativity.
