To be honest i'm undecided too. I agree with you it's weird that the developer says "use this color" and we show a different one.
On the other hand it's the same case than in the MainView of the SDK is doing so it makes sense that if people are using a backgroundColor in their MainView they can use the same color in the splash and actually get the same color in the splash than in the MainView. I agree it's weird that if you use the same color on the icon than in the splash background it is weird it looks different in the icon than in the background, but it on the other hand the icon is one of the things people are usually very strict about, so modifying the colors of people's icons is also not the best of the ideas :/ So basically we need some decision on wheter we should either: * Not change the background color specified by the developer with "papering" (and thus not matching what the SDK MainView does) * It's ok changing the colors of the icon of the application -- 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/1449628 Title: X-Ubuntu-Splash-Color=#ffffff yields #f5f5f5 Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I tried using a white-background app icon with a white-background splash color, but they didn't render the same. I took a screenshot and discovered that unity8 was rendering a white splash (#ffffff) as #f5f5f5. Switching my app icon to use that same off white as its background fixed the visual glitch. But why does unity8 do that?
