<resources >
    <style name="MyAppTheme" parent="Maui.SplashTheme">
      <item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/abc_background_cache_hint_selector_material_dark</item>
      <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
      <item name="android:windowSplashScreenAnimatedIcon">@drawable/avd_anim</item>
      <item name="android:windowSplashScreenIconBackgroundColor">@android:color/black</item>
    </style>
</resources>

Currently, if you want to custom the Splash screen , you can the drag an image with a gradient background as you want into the Resources\Splash folder of the project, and then change the image size by setting BaseSize like below:

<MauiSplashScreen Include="Resources\Splash\yourspalshscreen.svg" BaseSize="256,256"/>

And there is a known issue about this problem, microsoft have moved this issue to the Backlog milestone. This means that it is not going to be worked on for the coming release.

You can follow up this issue by link [Enhancement] MauiSplashScreen Video / Animation Support.
