Problem: briefly blinking to white screen before loading some wallpaper
Hi, I have noticed that before loading some of the wallpapers(web type only), it briefly blinks white screen. This is a minor issue but I wish to solve it for a more smooth transition(I made the Windows default wallpaper match the content that Wallpaper engine is displaying, so it would look like the wallpaper just start/stop moving(rather than switching) when Wallpaper engine is opened/closed)).
I have looked into the wallpaper web code (html and javascript) itself and found nothing that would display a white screen.

Any hints or suggestions would help.

The "white screen" means a wallpaper that's completely white(rather than making the whole screen white). If this issue can't be avoided, being able to make the "white screen" a "black screen" would still be nice (and sounds simpler), as black color doesn't create the "blinking" effect (also, given Windows desktop icon fonts are white by default, it makes more sense to use a black screen than white screen, so that the icon texts can be shown).
