I'm not sure if/how we solve this, unity8 wants to show the splash screen as soon as it knows an app is being launched, so that there's an immediate UI feedback to the user. When we get the first frame from the client, we hide the splash screen. It works fine for native apps.
Not sure what Xmir does, but since we're not treating it any differently I'd venture to say it's Xmir's fault for drawing the black before there is an app in there. ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Also affects: mir Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577641 Title: Unity8 creates a blank black window for windowless apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1577641/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
