Opening Retool public app start with GRAY background

App Building

Hello,

When I build a desktop app, the background of the main canvas always starts out with gray. Even if I set the background to white:

This is the link to the public app:

This is a movie that shows the gray background poping up before it goes to white:

So, when I enter the URL, the screen goes from white to gray, than form gray to white again.

How can I make it so that the main canvas background color starts with WHITE?

Thanks!

Patrick

Hey @victoria, any update on this?
I'm having the same issue, as I embed my App in an HTML page (through an iFrame) with a dark background. Is there any way we can control the background color as the app is loading?

Much thanks in advance! (@PatrickMast, if you've find any trick, I would obviously be curious :slight_smile: )

I am also using an embedded retool app in my parent app, both of which have a dark background. Having a way to change the background colour of the app when it's loading would be great
