Is there still no way to prevent the flash bang while waiting for initial content from the server?

I thought this was going to be about how people prefer different levels of blackness for the background in dark mode. I've heard people say that pure black is more battery efficient for OLED displays (but don't know if this is true), and I know some folks prefer a less-inky grey.

I was wondering how there could be six levels though; I'd think 3 or 4 would be the most anyone could notice or care about.

Level 9 (or 0): Turn off the computer and go to sleep.

Would've been cool if the levels came into effect while you scrolled down the page
