# CAC3 Splash Screens
|
||
|
||
Boot splash artwork for the CAC3 (Californiacoin3) Qt wallet.
|
||
|
||
## Files
|
||
|
||
| File | Size | Purpose |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| `splash-v2.jpg` | 1254×1254, sRGB JPEG | Source of truth. Authoritative splash for v2 release. |
|
||
| `splash-v2.png` | 1254×1254, sRGB PNG | Lossless copy of v2 (for tools that prefer PNG). |
|
||
|
||
## v2 (current)
|
||
|
||
- **Author**: Sami Ahmed (generated with AI assistance, 2026-07-15)
|
||
- **Composition**: CAC3 medal mark (centered, gold rim with reeded edge, grizzly bear + lone red star on cream face), six California landmark photos in a 3×2+1 grid (Golden Gate, downtown LA skyline, Hollywood sign, Bixby Creek Bridge, lifeguard tower at sunset, classic lowrider, palm grove at dusk), `CALIFORNIACOIN` wordmark, `CAC3 — The Crypto for Real Riders` tagline.
|
||
- **Palette**: Red ground with gold/sunset accents. Whole poster tied together by a unified sunset-golden-hour palette.
|
||
|
||
## Wiring into the wallet
|
||
|
||
When the C++ source lands, this image is the drop-in for the boot splash:
|
||
|
||
| Wallet target | File to write |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| `src/qt/res/splash.png` (Qt boot splash) | convert `splash-v2.png` → resize to 800×600 → write |
|
||
| `src/qt/res/splash@2x.png` (HiDPI) | 1600×1200 |
|
||
| `src/qt/res/splash_testnet.png` | distinct splash for testnet (todo) |
|
||
|
||
For now the splash is shipped as art only — wallet build wiring is a downstream step.
