    Change Flashing White Color of Various Windows When Opening Them ?


    Hi ! :)

    I looked on google and on the forum, i can't find what i'm looking for.
    First, i have Dark Theme Enabled, Windows 10 1903, and i have already found this :
    S.M.A.C.C - Superfly's Mouse Assisted Color Chooser
    but there is not what i'm looking for (though it's a good little regedit software).

    I'm looking for a way to change the blinding white that pops up whenever i open something.
    For Example, when i open the File Explorer, it opens instantly in dark mode, but for a very brief moment, the background of the window is White.
    Same for Firefox (which more noticeable because it takes longer to popup).

    I hope i'm being clear, i know it's not much, but believe me, when you are in front of a 120 inch screen with a powerful videoprojector at 4 am, it does hurt your eyes.

    Thanks !

    Hi, I don't use the dark theme, but this was posted before (no solution - and note how it still happened after a clean install):
    White flash when opening File Explorer

    There's a discussion about Firefox here: see if anything helps.

    Hi Dalchina ! Thanks for the quick answer (nice panda :) ).

    The white flash is not a normal behavior in windows 10 Dark mode ?
    I think i always had this, on several install, on computers...

    Hopefully someone who uses dark theme will drop by..

    Chrome and Firefox are mentioned in this context a fair bit too.

    I use dark and indeed the white flash is common. When I first switched to dark some time ago I had the same question and searched and experimented, exhausting every possibility. No luck. I think it just takes that brief nanosecond for dark to kick in.

    Best advice: close your eyes or wear a pair of those glasses meant for looking at eclipses."

    Thank you for your answers, i also can't find anything about this, too bad, i'm sure it can be fixed. Maybe on Windows 10 >2000 ?

    Ahahah well i'll mark the post as solved, you did find me a solution, i'll fetch them ! :)

    Thanks again.

    Edit :

    I did find something that's working for the File Explorer : Enable Windows Opening and Closing Animations in Advanced System Properties.
    I prefer it disabled though, but when enabled, it plays the animation smoothly without flashing white.

    For Firefox, it's still a white flashy opening .

    Ok, here's an idea to try.

    Download & install Qttabbar (free) by Quizo.

    One of its several functions allows you to colour explorer backgrounds. Set that colour the same as your dark theme.

    It might work... and if not, just uninstall it, or keep it and use the extra functions.

    (Adds tabs to file explorer and more).

    Here's mine:

    Ok, i tried it, but I get this when trying to open QtTabBar, and in my normal explorer i don't have anything poping out like you..

    But anyway, i don't think i would use any extra features, i like the way the file explorer is, and it doesn't resolve the fact that Chrome and Firefox (and also others apps) still flash before fully opening.

    You have to click a couple of things to enable it.

    Ah well.

    I have dark mode on in Firefox via the theme matching the OS color scheme, which is dark mode. But I also am using an extension called Dark Reader, and seldom if ever get the white flash issue. Might be worth a few minutes to experiment and see if you still get the flashes or not. You can always remove the extension.
