Is X-Ubuntu-Splash-Color the only splash-related entry you added to the desktop file?
I just tried it. I added "X-Ubuntu-Splash-Color=#52ade5" to .local/share/applications/com.ubuntu.developer.webapps.webapp-twitter_webapp-twitter_1.0.18.desktop and when I launch twitter the blue from the icon is indistinguishable from the blue of the splash background. What I see is the white bird "floating" in what would be a seamless blue if it were not for the icon's shadow. If the X-Ubuntu-Splash-Color has a luminance of 0.85 or more (not the case of #52ade5), the Ambiance theme will be used in the splash screen (emulating what you get when you use SDK's MainView). The Ambiance theme applies a semi-transparent image on top of the background color, thus effectively "filtering" it. That image is /usr/share/unity8/Stages/graphics/[email protected] On 08/10/14 13:01, David Barth wrote: > I am having issues with the color values.
