Background color of EDGE 1050

What color is the background black color of edge1050?

One user said to me, it's annoying thing...

I checked using if(background color == Graphics.COLOR_BLACK)

Please, let me know color code of the EDGE 1050 background.

One user tested background color 0x17181D instead of COLOR_BLACK.

The result is as follows,

Finally, he satisfied.

    Another thing you can try is to look into the simulator.json and maybe the compiler.json to see if the background color is there.

    But if it was there, wouldn't the real background color be reflected during simulation? It's implied in this discussion that it's not. I confirmed that by taking a screenshot of a simple data field, simulated for Edge 1050 with the background set to black. The simulator renders that as pure black (#000000). It does render the text as as #fffaff (255, 250, 255), which is slightly different than what was reported for the real device (255, 251, 255).

    Maybe just adding that to the simulator.json would be an easy (for Garmin) 1st step

    Yeah it goes back to the age-old debate about the extent the sim can and should simulate reality.

    Some ppl seem to think it's acceptable that you just need a real device to test certain things. And when there's a glaring cosmetic difference as in this post, they just refuse to see it.

    We also know that SimpleDataField uses different fonts on some real devices from the built-in fields, so I'm not sure if using SDF and especially in the simulator can give us too much reliable info.

    If you're already playing with this try DataField with transparent background in the sim edge1050 vs black. I would be surprised though if there was any difference.

    They're older than us, maybe have vision problems...

    Yeah it's not the first time they haven't seen something that's obvious to others.

    But the annoying part is when they automatically deny the possibility of anything they can't see or don't understand themselves. And that's the kind of thing which is generic forums behavior imo, and it happens elsewhere too (reddit, other user communities for tech companies, etc.)

    Like I said it was a simple data field (which, for the benefit of others, doesn't render/draw anything, only returns a text or numerical value to the system, and the system handles all the rendering). Obviously if I had simulated a complex data field with the background color literally set to black (#000000) via code, I would expect it to be black (#000000).

    What I meant was that I ran the simple data field in the sim, and changed the data field background color via the sim settings to "black". (Sorry I wasn't clear about this.) In this case, the sim renders black (#000000), which is why I don't think the "real" background color is being simulated. For the same reason, I don't expect that using a transparent background color in a complex data field will change anything.
