Key Design Principles Used

From your onboarding screens:

1. ✅ Centered layout with max-width container
2. ✅ Logo with gradient border at top
3. ✅ Large, bold title with subtitle
4. ✅ Grid of glass cards that hover/lift
5. ✅ Dark glass aesthetic (not white glass)
6. ✅ Consistent spacing (gap-6, p-8, mb-8)
7. ✅ Proper button styling (glass-button)
8. ✅ Modal transitions (fade in/out)

This is exactly like your "Choose Your Setup" onboarding screen but for Bitcoin Core!
