      It was changed two weeks ago to fix the loading fade-in, apparently. (Source: #52, #129)

        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.

              For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, here's the new splash screen.

                      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.
