Win 10 app - weird behavior of splash screen

Hello,
I've encountered a weird situation with the splash screen that i'm not sure what's the cause of, and i'm hoping to get some help.

I've set up the image in the app-manifest, and set the background color to black.
but when i open my app, you can see the splash screen image for like 1 second, and then it changes to a white background with a black rectangle, and then the Unity splash.
(if you want to see for yourself, here's a link to the store: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/einstein-junior/9wzdncrd8dbc)

Any help would be appreciated.
Please let me know if i need to provide more information

 

Before you build in Visual Studio, check the Package.appxmanifest file. There is a spot to assign a splash screen. Maybe it's not getting assigned properly?

 

1. Open the manifest
2. Click Visual Assets (assuming you are building xaml project)
3. Next to "Background color" add in the color you want in hexadecimal. e.g. #000000 for black
4. If you leave it blank, it defaults to white

 

Like i've already mentioned, I've set the background color in the manifest to black.
And I've also set an image for splash screen.

but it appears for a second, and then turns into a white background with a black rectangle.

I just filed a bug report for Unity 5.3 beta, but likely the same issue on Unity 5.2.

I did the following as a workaround in MainPage.xaml.cs:
1 - In function PositionImage remove the #if UNITY_WP_8_1
2 - In function GetSplashBackgroundColor change this line (which ignores the value in the manifest)
ExtendedSplashGrid.Background = newSolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(0xff, 0, 0, 0));
3 - In the manifest make sure you have a splash screen for both 1240x600 and 620x300

-Mark

 

I had this, and found that in visual studio, open the package manifest and make sure all splash screen images are assign (hirez to lowrez)... I also went ahead and added all "recommended" icons and imagery... then that white/black box flash went away.

 

Thank you very much for the help
I did as Sievlar recommended BUT, i'm also noticed some visual elements were not recognized in the manifest, so i gave each one a unique name.
And the problem was solved.

That being said, i've noticed that when you choose background color in the player settings, it doesn't change the background of the splash screen.
So i gave the splash screen color manually too.

 

On second glance, i've noticed that when the app opens up, it starts with a big splash screen image, and then it shrinks a bit.
even though i've gave it only 1 image in the splash screen (no different scales)

 

Ah cool thanks, i'll try it (i guess you mean 5.2.3p2)
if it was fixed in that patch, might be worth adding it to the "fixes" list.
I didn't see it listed, so i didn't bother trying it out..

And btw, do you mean the white background color fixed, or what i've mentioned in my last post about image shrinking?
