[Change request] White splash screen on new window even with dark themes #6209

Closed ihatemakinganaccount closed 11 hours ago

FT 0.22b Flatpak, Fedora 41 KDE (Plasma 6)

I'm using a dark system theme and dark theme as well. When I open a new FT Window, usually there's a brief full screen white splash before the window loads fully.

Is there any way this could be helped? It is very unpleasant.

Steps:

  1. Set theme to dark, or the system theme to dark and FT to "follow system" (just for contrast)
  2. Open a new window (Ctrl+N, from context menu etc.)

Result: Flashbang

Expected: Would be nice if a new window wasn't initiated as completely white, at least not when a dark theme is active.

It's an issue with Electron and how they set the background colour which is why it flashes white first, there is nothing we can do about it on our side: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/44371
