Describe the bug you encountered:

Thanks for a great app! Has been my go to for a while now...

One thing that I wish we could improve is that even though my device is on dark mode, whenever I cold start the app there is a bright white screen before the app launches...

Thanks!

Describe what you expected to happen:

Perhaps on app launch we can have a dark splash screen or a splash screen that matches the device theme?

Research direction

Reproduce a cold launch on Android 15 with the device in dark mode and observe the white flash before the app opens. Trace the app's current launch and splash-screen configuration, then make the launch screen follow the device theme or use a dark background. Done means no bright white flash is visible during cold launch.
