prevent redraw between load screen and 1st frame?

Ah yeah, just ran CrazyCrab and there is a brief flash of black.

I see what you mean cfullerNY, I also experience the black redraw and I find it annoying. My launch image is my company's logo, and my first frame looks exactly the same (and then fades away). BUT between the launch image and the first frame of the application, I can clearly see a black screen during less than a second maybe. I must say that I'd rather get rid of it.

yes, this is exactly what I'm referring to. I wouldn't make the suggestion if it wasn't such a small detail. I would hope it wouldn't be a lot of work to change, and the benefit is (imo) a dramatically more-professional-seeming app.

I just made my loading image black then fade from block on startup.

Since my game doesn't take too long to load it isn't a problem. I've seen other apps employ the same tactic.
