And i would love to have an option to change it to something more simplistic or atleast give us a chance to do it. Sadly advanced settings seems a little too complicated for my knowledge

Go to the Program folder for Kodi. (Not the Kodi data folder or Userdata folder)
Go to the \media\ folder
Replace the splash.jpg file with another 16:9 image.

== Edit ==
An alternate method for difficult to access OS's - thanks to @Fuzzard

Using the Kodi File Manager
Add this Special_protocol (wiki) ... special://home
Enter special://home and create a new folder named media
Add your splash.jpg file into the \media\ folder
Restart Kodi to check spash image is used.
