Public summary
The Window Designer previews a newly dropped GameCanvas as a dark/black rectangle, but the running app uses the default GameCanvas.BackColour instead. With a default project this makes the designer misleading, because the canvas appears dark at design time even though the runtime background is not dark.
Expected behaviour: the designer preview and running app use the same default GameCanvas.BackColour.
