## 11.23. Welcome Page Banner Slides

The welcome page displays a rotating banner carousel with slides for events, sponsorship information, and tips. These slides are loaded from JSON resource files embedded in the application at build time.

### 11.23.1. Slide Types

Each slide has a type that determines its color scheme and category:

Type | Description
--- | ---
Events | Conference announcements, meetups, and other community events.
Sponsorship | Information about supporting the Wireshark project.
Tips | Usage tips and feature highlights.

Slide visibility can be toggled per type in the welcome page sidebar preferences.

### 11.23.2. Time-Limited Slides

Slides can be configured with start and end dates. Event-specific slides (such as conference announcements) automatically appear and disappear based on these dates. Slides without date constraints are always visible.
