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.
