It can be important to set the apps background colour, for instance if you are using page transitions.
In App.xmal.cs add this in the OnLaunched() function:
if (rootFrame == null)
{
// Create a Frame to act as the navigation context and navigate to the first page
rootFrame = new Frame();
//Set the app background colour behind our page transiions
SolidColorBrush scb = new SolidColorBrush();
scb.Color = Windows.UI.Colors.Black;
rootFrame.Background = scb;
