There was a problem hiding this comment.
TBD the renaming of "black borders" in docs and code comments (see #6772 (comment) & #6772 (comment) & #6772 (comment)).
Introduce a `--background-color` option that accepts hexadecimal color
codes (3-digit or 6-digit formats):
scrcpy --background-color=#234567
scrcpy --background-color=234567 # leading '#' is optional
scrcpy --background-color=#567 # equivalent to #556677
Fixes #5855 <#5855>

I think I will keep "black borders" for the doc, the alternatives are not clear enough for users IMO. |

Another alternative could be "background" or "background borders". |
|
"extra space", "surrounding space"? (suggested by an LLM, after I said that the term "letterboxing" was too technical) |
|
Anyway, the default color is very dark so I think "black" is OK. Ah, maybe "dark borders" then? |
Why not. I think borders/margins is clearer than extra space but they are all good alternatives. |
Yeah, I think I will keep that. 😅 |

how does one set the bg to be transparent? there is no way to tell it what alpha channel to use seems like only alpha channels are supported |
The background cannot be set transparent: #6807 (comment) |
