Summary0006122: DR 'flashes' all white on opening of program
DescriptionThis is a minor issue, but wonder if it could be tweaked at all, as I dont think previous version of DR did this.

Ideally would like a dark skin for DR but appreciate thats difficult, but conversaly getting a bright flash everytime I load the program causes a bit of eye strain etc.

It's one of these frustrating issues, where I don't seem to be able to get a handle on it. I failed to figure out where this white background is originating from. Maybe it's windows, maybe it's somewhere in the wxWidgets panels, maybe it's the graphics driver initialising the frame buffers, who knows.

I tried setting background colours, I tried adding a custom wxEVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND, I tried showing/hiding the frame, nothing worked.

So I have dark mode enabled in Windows, and I am seeing this issue in other programmes also. For example Firefox also does this, its like it dosent know I have a dark theme installed and that the OS is in dark mode.

Is there anything I can do (reinstall visual studfio etc, enable bug tracking) to help you diagnose what DR is doing right at the moment I get the while flash..?

I'm afraid I can't think of anything right now. I tried to track it down, but I guess the behaviour of openGL widgets in the process of being initialised is not really defined. Could be everything.
