Select loading color for background #2452

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When Lively first loads up, it flashes bright white for a split second. It's like a quick flashbang from CS. Could be nice if there was a way to at least select the color of this loading flash.

Describe the solution you'd like Selecting a color so it shows this color instead of just a bright white screen.

Describe alternatives you've considered I don't know. It's a simple feature, not much else to do than being able to select your own "loading color".

Additional context Can't get a screenshot, it shows for less than a second. But it is very bright looking at the screen when it flashes this white screen before loading the actual wallpaper selected. I do have Dark Theme enabled on my machine and created a still image from the animated one I am using in Lively, as the default wallpaper on windows so the transition was a bit smoother. But this bright white flash can be very bright. Hopefully this makes sense.

I have tried this in the past by setting: https://cefsharp.github.io/api/87.1.x/html/P_CefSharp_BrowserSettings_BackgroundColor.htm

Opaque background color used for the browser before a document is loaded and when no document color is specified.

The issue is with when no document color is specified which means if the webpage does not set a color for its body it overrides it, ie white page will appear with the custom color instead.

Oh yeah okay, that sucks. But thanks for the quick reply and thank you for creating this in the first place. It's a really nice program and I will definitely still keep using it.

I'll try a different approach, the white color is coming from the browser background and not the app.. I could try hiding the browser till a page is loaded (this only makes sense for local websites and not online since that needs to load in parts and can take time.)
