Aframe: Using a-assets causes blue screen

Created on 6 Dec 2018 · 3Comments · Source: aframevr/aframe

Description:
When loading Aframe and using to load assets, the screen goes blue until all the assets are loaded.
When testing, ensure that your images are not cached, otherwise the blue disappears quicker that you can see it.

A-Frame Version: 0.8.2 (Date 2018-12-01, Commit #a35c367)
Platform / Device: All Devices
Reproducible Code Snippet or URL:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Goes Blue</title>
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/aframevr/aframe@00d0a6502df911702bfeab8d7a23b6b848ba4eb9/dist/aframe-master.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<a-scene vr-mode-ui="enabled:false;" embedded>
    <a-assets>
       <!-- add some assets here atleast 3 -->
    </a-assets>
    <a-sky src="#37ff7a9e-25cb-11e8-a7c4-060e3a5e0910"></a-sky>
    <a-entity look-controls="pointerLockEnabled:false;reverseMouseDrag: true" camera="" wasd-controls=""></a-entity>
</a-scene>
</body>
</html>

That's the new loading screen. You're using master, which is slated to become the 0.9.0 release.

See https://aframe.io/docs/master/components/loading-screen.html

Lol, webgl had a bug that was causing blue screen to due buffer overflow, and I was thinking that this may be the cause.

Classic case of "Not a bug, its a feature"

So now that I know this is the loading screen, there actually is a bug that the screen size does not respect the embedded component sizing.

I create a scene in a popup, but the entire screen gets colored blue.

Is there a way to deactivate the loading screen?
is there a way to provide custom html for the loading screen?
See an example of one of my sites that has a custom loader, so you can see what I mean
