ComposeUiViewController forces a white background

[chrisbanes]

The rootView used by the ComposeUiViewController is set to UIColor.whiteColor (here). This is usually not usually an issue as it only happens when the ComposeUiViewController and is then drawn over as soon as a composition + draw happens.

I'm working on a project though where we are using ComposeUiViewControllers in select parts of the app, therefore we pop on/off ComposeUiViewController fairly frequently. The app is dark themed, meaning that we see a brief flash of white before the content of each ComposeUiViewController is drawn.

Is there a reason why white is used? Can me make this configurable or maybe transparent?

It was reported earlier, is already fixed and will be deployed in next version, so API for configuring background color won't be added because it doesn't bring anything to the table, you can already do that from within setContent.

White was chosen arbitrarily, tbh.
