CoreWebView2ControllerOptions.DefaultBackgroundColor
2+
===
3+
# Background
4+
5+
Previously, there was a fix to address an issue where the background color controller property
6+
was applied too late, causing a disruptive white flash during the WebView2 loading process.
7+
8+
This fix required using an environment variable. However, this workaround was not meant to be
9+
a long-term solution. Therefore, we need to add this setting to `ICoreWebView2ControllerOptions`
10+
to apply the color early in the loading process.
11+
12+
# Description
13+
14+
This interface extends the `ICoreWebView2ControllerOptions` to expose the `DefaultBackgroundColor`
15+
property as an option.
16+
The `CoreWebView2ControllerOptions.DefaultBackgroundColor` API allows users to set the
17+
`DefaultBackgroundColor` property at initialization.
18+
19+
This is useful when setting it using the existing [`CoreWebView2Controller.DefaultBackgroundColor API`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.web.webview2.core.corewebview2controller.defaultbackgroundcolor?view=webview2-dotnet-1.0.2792.45)
20+
applies the color too late.

# Examples
25+
26+
## Win32 C++
27+
```cpp
28+
 HRESULT AppWindow::CreateControllerWithOptions()
29+
{
30+
wil::com_ptr<ICoreWebView2ControllerOptions> options;
31+
HRESULT hr = m_environment->CreateCoreWebView2ControllerOptions(&options);
32+
33+
if (hr == E_INVALIDARG)
34+
{
35+
ShowFailure(hr, L"Invalid profile name.");
36+
return S_OK;
37+
}
38+
39+
wil::com_ptr<ICoreWebView2ControllerOptions4> options4;
40+
auto result = options->QueryInterface(IID_PPV_ARGS(&options4));
41+
42+
if (SUCCEEDED(result))
43+
{
44+
COREWEBVIEW2_COLOR wvColor{255, 85, 0, 225};
45+
options4->put_DefaultBackgroundColor(wvColor);
46+
}
47+
48+
m_environment->CreateCoreWebView2ControllerWithOptions(
49+
m_mainWindow,
50+
options.Get(),
51+
Callback<ICoreWebView2CreateCoreWebView2ControllerCompletedHandler>(
52+
this, &AppWindow::OnCreateCoreWebView2ControllerCompleted).Get());
53+
54+
return S_OK;
55+
56+
}
57+
```
58+
59+
60+
61+
## C#
62+
```c#
63+

65+
InitializeComponent();
66+
SetDefaultBackgroundColor();
67+
}
68+
69+

70+
SetDefaultBackgroundColor()
71+

72+
CoreWebView2Environment environment = await
73+
CoreWebView2Environment.CreateAsync();
74+
CoreWebView2ControllerOptions options = environment.CreateCoreWebView2ControllerOptions();
75+
options.DefaultBackgroundColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 85, 0, 255);
76+
await WebView2.EnsureCoreWebView2Async(environment, options);
77+

# API Details
84+
85+
## Win32 C++
86+
```cpp
87+
/// This interface extends the ICoreWebView2ControllerOptions interface to expose
88+
/// DefaultBackgroundColor property. It is encouraged to transition away from the
89+
/// environment variable and use this API solution to apply the property.

interface ICoreWebView2ControllerOptions4 : ICoreWebView2ControllerOptions3 {
93+
94+
/// This API allows users to initialize the `DefaultBackgroundColor` early,
95+
/// preventing a white flash that can occur while WebView2 is loading when
96+
/// the background color is set to something other than white. With early
97+
/// initialization, the color remains consistent from the start. After
98+
/// initialization, `ICoreWebView2Controller2::get_DefaultBackgroundColor`
99+
/// will return the value set using this API.
100+
///
101+
/// The `DefaultBackgroundColor` is the color that renders underneath all web
102+
/// content. This means WebView renders this color when there is no web
103+
/// content loaded. When no background color is defined in WebView2, it uses
104+
/// the `DefaultBackgroundColor` property to render the background.
105+
/// By default, this color is set to white.
106+
///
107+
/// This API only supports opaque colors and full transparency. It will
108+
/// fail for colors with alpha values that don't equal 0 or 255.
109+
/// When WebView2 is set to be fully transparent, it does not render a background,
110+
/// allowing the content from windows behind it to be visible.
