Research direction
The issue involves the splash screen not centering correctly on multi monitor setups. Examine the splash screen initialization code, likely in a class like `Splash` or `Main` within the Arduino IDE source. The fix may require using `GraphicsEnvironment` to get the screen bounds and center the splash on the primary monitor or the monitor where the mouse pointer is located.
