Screen flickers before loading theme #3

Closed pwall2222 closed 3 years ago

This started happening randomly, I reinstalled it and still does it. The logs say nothing about it. I wiped everything reinstalled everything and the problem still ocours. It both happens on debugging when loged in and when logging in for the first time.

Hmm, that's weird. Can you provide screenshots or photos? Or videos.

https://streamable.com/t2pxe8 A whole video with the flicker effect, it also happens when first logging in but thats too hard to capture.

Oh, it's not screen flickering per se. The greeter shows first a white screen, like a simple browser would do, then it loads the theme. It's annoying. It could be fixable, though. Then, backgrounds "flickering" it's normal in webpages.

I'll check this out.

I don't remember it doing it before though? My memory is too bad to remember though. It gets really annoying when you just got from a dark screen, and I have tried not loadings any html and the white still shows so no idea.

JezerM commented 3 years ago

The white screen is default by the greeter, so no theme would do anything to fix it. As an early idea, it would be just to change the QApplication background color to black.

Ok, it was quite easy. I updated the master branch with this fix. If you did install the 3.0.0rc3 before, updating to 3.0.0rc4 would need to install the latest whither release.
