White screen at start for 2-3 seconds...
-
Upon upgrading to 2.11.0 - I’m now getting a white screen on startup.
It’ll blank the screen, show the white screen with mouse cursor visible, then blank out again 2-3 seconds later, and start building the modules. Any clue of what’s going on?
Here’s my log of the restart via “PM2 Logs”:

its an electron bug/feature… MM already sets the background to black, but there is a short time its shown as white
i think the only way to get rid of it is to change the code so it opens invisible, and then when ready, the code makes it visible in black I use that on a couple of my modules that open extra browser windows… to avoid the white flass

Hi,
Could you please provide some extra info on this?
- As to the issue (is there an issue tracker?)
- As to how to achive your suggestion of starting invisible and chaning back later.
Many thanks

@robertalexa I posted a followup that helps for me, make the backgroundColor:“x000001” (almost totally black, but not 0)
see

@sdetweil Good to note that it don’t always work, FWIW… like it don’t help my situation, but, I only have to restart once in a great while now, so, I don’t see it nearly as much… now if I could get OMX to stop freezing so I don’t have to restart it every half hour (😭😭😭 not a magic mirror problem, Running it on top of MM to avoid RTSPStream bugs)
