Description

I understand that it's an intentional design decision to require the use of the backgroundColor property instead of the contentBackgroundColor style to set the background color of applications, mainly to avoid some extra compiler work (AFAIK). But since the user expectation is that a global contentBackgroundColor style setting will affect all background colors, I'm logging this to request that enhancement.

Steps to reproduce:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application contentBackgroundColor="#DF6565" xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo">
</s:Application>

Actual Results: Doesn't use the color

Expected Results: Should use it

Workaround (if any): Set the backgroundColor property instead
