When Did ES Switch To Black Loading Screen?
-
I loved the black background!
Did you notice you can choose the omx video player? Now I have video preview playable on my raspi1. :-)

I noticed this two the other day when doing an update. I like it as well! Maybe it will help save a little bit of power when booting on battery powered handhelds ;-)
-
What else makes it better with the black is it solves the video splashscreen overlapping issue for most people as its usually just a cosmetic issue of the white bars on the top and bottom.

oooooo
nice, guess im going to have to update mine soon.
been on vacation so have not had a chance to do much with mine -
For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, here's the new splash screen.

...and I see that Mega @meleu likes it as well! -
@backstander He sits on my desk and keeps me in line ;)

We have @Rookervik to thank for the newly improved splash. It was my longest standing pull request. And it was only once @pjft fixed the black background.
I think it looks swell. Sucks for all the people who hacked their video splashes to end in a white screen but eh. Looks better regardless. Less blinding when I play games at 2AM

Following the same reasoning, I think that the @mattrixk 's IO theme can help in this point as well. ;-)

@meleu I'm not used to people remembering Io exists. I'm halfway though making it work with Video Previews, but I got distracted.

Well, I think people willing to save battery won't use this feature... :)

@meleu That is a valid point.
