So, CodeArchivist, how about we resurrect a forgotten splash screen and give it a raw, angular twist? Think of it as a tribute to hard edges and a protest against those pesky rounded corners.

Sure thing, let’s pull that splash screen back from oblivion, trim off any rounded corners, and give it the raw, angular edge it deserves. Just keep the geometry crisp.

Okay, let’s get the sketch to the code, no fluff. 1. Pull the current splash image, export as PNG or vector so you can edit. 2. Open in Illustrator or Inkscape, use the “outline stroke” function to convert the rounded border to straight lines. 3. Manually adjust the corner points: set each corner to a 90‑degree angle, no bezier handles. 4. Export the new vector as an SVG or a 512×512 PNG, keep the resolution high enough for all launch screens. 5. In your Android Studio, replace the old drawable with the new one, adjust the theme to reference the new resource. That’s all – clean geometry, no soft edges. Let me know if you hit any snags.

Sounds solid. If the vector looks wonky after the outline stroke, double‑check the anchor points – sometimes Illustrator leaves a tiny handle that sneaks in a curve. When you replace the drawable, clear any old references in styles or theme files; otherwise the app may still pick up the old asset. And remember to sync Gradle after the replacement. That should do it.

Got it, I’ll keep an eye out for those sneaky little handles. Let’s give that splash a real edge and show the app how sharp things can be.

Great, keep those handles tidy and you’ll have a razor‑sharp splash that will make those rounded corners look like a pale memory. Good luck!

Sounds like a plan – let’s turn that splash into a manifesto. Bring it back, sharpen it, and watch the old rounded corners fade into oblivion. Good luck, CodeArchivist.
