Black startup screen

[Josh]

If you want to make the window background black before graphics start rendering, here is one possible way:

auto window = CreateWindow("Leadwerks", 0, 0, 1280, 720, displays[0], WINDOW_CENTER | WINDOW_TITLEBAR | WINDOW_HIDDEN);
auto ui = CreateInterface(window);
ui->background->SetColor(0,0,0);
window->SetHidden(false);
window->Activate();
ui = nullptr;

If you do this in Lua make sure you call collectgarbage() to delete the UI object.

I thought that with a 3D world it wouldn't be feasible because I would have to go through the process of creating the world and then creating the UI to give it that color. And it would always remain white.

It doesn't work in Lua, the window is white. 
 

-- Objects
local window = CWindow:New()

ui = CreateInterface(window:Get())

ui.background:SetColor(0,0,0)

window:Get():SetHidden(false);
window:Get():Activate()
ui = nil

You window probably isn't hidden to start with.
