Just to clarify: Unity8 shows a contextual (app name, icon) and configurable (via .desktop file atm) splash screen for apps that connect on the default socket. That splash screen is replaced with the actual surface as soon as the client *draws* to it.
If, at any point, the contents are black, that means the client has drawn a black frame. We may modify how the splash screen behaves, delay it for a very short time and have a minimum time it has to be on screen, so that there's never a "flicker". This way a client that draws or quits (utilities?) very quickly (within the initial delay) will go straight to the surface. Any, however, that missed that mark, will appear slower than they are in reality, to avoid the splash-to-app flicker. I've filed bug #1670442 for that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577641 Title: Unity8 creates a blank black window for windowless apps Status in Canonical System Image: Won't Fix Status in Mir: Invalid Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Unity8 creates a blank black window for windowless apps.
