> When the applet starts, a progress bar is displayed. When the applet finishes downloading, the progress bar disappears, leaving a gray box until the pivot toolkit loads the application. Even for the simpliest application displaying an empty window, pivot requires about 0.3 s to start (on Core2Duo 2.2 GHz), so the gray box effect can be easily seen. The gray box effect does not happen always, but in about half of the cases.
> Below I submit patch we made to the BrowserApplicationContext.java file. Seems like setting the applet's background to white and delaying the add(displayHost) call as late as possible does the trick:
