Public bug reported: X-Ubuntu-Splash-Show-Header=true is mean to make your app startup seemless. To make it look more like the app starts immediately and simply filling in its contents is taking some time. (is my understanding)
But with SDK 1.3, the header is smaller. It uses a smaller font and a different visual style for the sections bar. So when combining SDK 1.3 and Show-Header=true, there is a visual jar when the app finally does show that doesn't exist when using SDK 1.2. This would ideally be fixed for both 1.2 and 1.3, though unity8 doesn't know which the app is using at splash screen time (yet). But if we can't make it ideal for both, eventually as the number of 1.3 apps outweighs the 1.2 apps (and especially as we start using 1.3 in the core apps), we should at least switch the default visual style of the splash header to be in line with 1.3. ** Affects: unity8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1503498 Title: Using both X-Ubuntu-Splash-Show-Header=true and SDK 1.3 looks bad Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: X-Ubuntu-Splash-Show-Header=true is mean to make your app startup seemless.
