Hi Francisco,
That looks to me that the Wireshark splash image isn’t properly packed. There are two version of it, one standard (called wssplash.png) which is used in the released versions, and one development (called wssplash_dev.png) which is used in the development versions. Somehow the applicable graphic is not available. Someone with knowledge of the macOS packaging might have a clue.
In the mean time, this shouldn’t really hold you back improving your change, as it can be reviewed/tested in Wireshark (Qt). Are you still pursuing this?
Thanks,
Jaap
