Then, when the splash page is hidden, the title bar > reverts to the user-selected accent color and the window to the app > background which, depending on the colors in use, may not be a very > appealing transition. > > In my case, I found using the accent color as the background much more > satisfying which is why I went ahead and created the PR.
