+  During startup, the frame will typically appear shortly before the color
+  theme is applied. If a dark theme is being applied, the frame will often
+  flash white before the theme has had time to load. We can prevent this by
+  setting the frame parameter [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Font-and-Color-Parameters.html#index-opacity_002c-frame-1][~alpha-background~]] to make the background
+  transparent in early-init, and add a hook to [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Init-File.html#index-after_002dinit_002dhook][~after-init-hook~]] revert it.
