- bhauer 9y agoWell, except that the default behavior pulls the background color into the irregular areas, which will probably yield some unexpected and less than desired results for sites that don't expect the background color to fill space to the left and right of the content. I think a more sensible default would have been to fill the irregular space with black to create a letterboxed appearance. Basically reduce the irregular space to inactive unless specifically requested by the site's designer.

- amelius 9y agoYes, black with system icons would have been better. PS: Does it also extend the "background-image" property?
- mrks_ 9y agoThere are a fair amount of reasonable concerns and suggestions in this thread (at least, now there are). I agree, I would've liked to see a letterboxed solution, similar to what they do for fullscreen video.
- jclardy 9y agoYeah, I really don't understand Apple's aversion to using black on their first phone with an OLED display. Nearly all of Apple's built in apps have kept their bright white UI's.
- johansch 9y agoIves is kinda obsessed with white in case you hadn't noticed.
- didgeoridoo 9y agoAfter a bit of experimentation, this seems to work to create a letterbox (really pillarbox) effect, as long as you don't add their new viewport-fit property. html { background-color: black; }
- robocat 9y agoI believe the same colour is used to fill the blank area due to scroll bounce.
