For an embedded project, when starting Chrome in kiosk mode, just after boot:

chrome.exe --kiosk http://127.0.0.1/index.html

there is a 500 ms delay before the site is displayed, during which Chrome displays a blank white screen, which is kind of "flashing" because before, the screen is black, and then, the site has a black background.

Is there a way to set a black background of the Chrome interface, in kiosk mode?

There has been much written about this white flash for a new tab. Some writers even blame Windows display mechanisms rather than Chrome.

Below are some suggestions :

  • In chrome://flags/, enable the option of enable-force-dark
  • Use the extension Blank Dark New Tab Page
  • Use the extension Black New Tab Page
  • You could try another browser. Some reports say that Firefox and Vivaldi do not have this problem.
