I’m finding good usage for the native webView.
However, the gray loading screen looks a bit unsightly in my app. Is there a way to change the color or make it transparent?
Thanks!
Might want to check http://feedback.coronalabs.com and see if there is an entry for this. There are several webView things that are multiple feature posts, but I don’t know if this is one. Feel free to vote up any existing items or create a new one.

I checked but didn’t see it- so I added it to the list.
Seems like it would be such an easy thing to do. I hope it gets noticed.
Thanks for your reply Rob
Here is the feedback request if others want to vote on it.

Thanks Rob,
Okay, if anyone is interested, I have come up with a workaround for this.
Rob, maybe you can give this a glance and tell me if I’m missing something but this does work in my tests:
[lua]
local function webListener( event )
if event.type == “loaded” then
transition.to( webView, { time=600, alpha=1 } )
transition.to( loading, { time=400, alpha=0 } )
end
if event.errorCode then
native.showAlert( “Error!”, event.errorMessage, { “OK” } )
end
end
loading = display.newImageRect( “loading.png”, 123, 57 )
loading.x = _SCREEN.CENTER.X
loading.y = 192
–Inside of the Composer “will” show function
webView.alpha = 0
webView:addEventListener( “urlRequest”, webListener )
[/lua]
In short, I created my own loading graphic to show and hid the webView.
Once we have a successful page load, I phase out the loading graphic and phase in the webView.
This allows you to put an animation or something more entertaining instead of a boring gray loading screen.
