Maybe try RefindPlus to see if it behaves better. It has an option for changing the background color. You should be able to temporarily just replace the refind.efi with the refindplus.efi. You might need to make some tweaks to the refind.conf file. https://github.com/dakanji/RefindPlus
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hey, so I just set up my nice new Ubuntu, macOS Catalina, Windows and fydeOS setup on using rEFInd to boot
Problem now is that it doesn't look really nice when booting. The screen briefly flashes white. Before the logos appear.
Anyone knows how to get rid off the flashing and possibly also the boot messages?
Hope someone can help me!
