SURFACE.MOBILE.STATES.SPLASH

Summary

The launch screen: the knight from the icon on the icon's own green.

Why it is drawn this way

The ground is the launcher icon's dark green, in both themes. The splash hands over from the icon the player just tapped. A light splash in light mode would flash between a dark icon and a light Home.

No wordmark and no spinner. Nothing loads: the app has no network call of its own. The splash is on screen for as long as the system needs and no longer.

Today's app uses #111827 and a different icon. app.json sets that colour for the splash and the adaptive icon. The new colour and designs/brand/icon.svg replace them only after the designs are approved.
