The app itself works completely fine. My question is that on the launching of the app itself, the screen is the Unity default blue for a quick second or so before changing to the black of my first scene.
How do I change this color to be black on startup?
You can change this by going to File --> Build Settings --> Player Settings --> Splash Image --> Background --> Background Color.
From there you can change the background color. You can also change the image, animation type and overlay opacity from there.
Note that there are things you may not be able to change there unless you have Pro license.
EDIT:
Updated to be more detailed of where to change stuff
First change the Splash Image:
There are more options for iOS platform but this settings can still be found in the menu I mentioned above.
If iOS, select iOS as your platform and you can change your Background Color from there:
You should then change the Lunch Screen type from there. Set it to None if you want it to be gone.
If the color does not still change, you can create a Texture with a color of your choice and add it to the Mobile Splash Screen slot:
I believe the OP was looking for the Background Color of the Launch Screens as indicated in these screenshots.
This is taken from an iOS build setting panel. We've observed odd behavior with no textures at all (even though that is what we want), so we use single-pixel, solid-color images as well as a background color to match.
These fields are not made available in the PC/Android build windows, so not 100% sure what the equivalent would be - beyond using flat-colored images. Either way, it is these elements that are used prior to loading your scenes.
I think you are talking about the camera background color. You can set it up in your main camera to black. You can find the camera documentation here.

I am trying to find the color code for the bright light blue color used by the Android framework in some of their widgets. I understand that the framework uses 9 patch images to draw these widgets, so the color code would theoretically not be stored in the framework code.
But is there a way to find what was the color code used in the SeekBar or the ToggleButton(the small blue line when Checked)?
I generally use #33B5E5 for the color.
Take a screenshot of the image and upload it to this site and click the color you want to know about.

In Android-Studio you can do it in the Program itself too. To do that, follow this steps:
Put the Item in your view that you wish to know the color from or have a picture or screenshot ready and open on the PC
Select an item (Button, View, etc) in the "Component-Tree" on right side and go to the "Color-Property" or the prop "Backgroud" of the selected item (one has to be in Design-Mode to see the Component-Tree).
Then click the "..." behind the Property-Edittextfield and a menu opens up where you can choose a color, by either go to the System-Tab and choose a predefined Android-System Color (you see all the different greens here for example). After select a color you see the value of it in the value window below.
You can also go to the Color-Tab and click the little color-selector item, then hover it over the Layout-item that you draged to the view in step 1 and try to hover the spot where the needed color is. You can have also a screenshot open, or the android emulator or something. The color-picker lets you hover also over outside program views, not only insde Androidstudio.
Voila, there you have all system colors.
I have defined android:background="#FF000000" everywhere but i still can not prevent the white background while app launches. (ActionBar at the top, and white background at the bottom)
Is there any other setting that let me change this init-time background color?
Always also look at the Themes you chose for your App or Application.
Themes/styles set some essential attributes which result in corresponding settings for the Window as well; this can go as far as choosing pixel formats (with/without alpha channel).
Another place to look at might be any code that manipulates LayoutAttributes or requests Window features in you Activity's onCreate() but that doesn't sound very likely given what you wrote.
I recently updated my app, changing it's design a bit. Amongst other things, I styled buttons with custom drawables (well - not exactly custom, just taken from ICS release). Everything works well, except for one of the users.
Instead of:
He sees:
This is a Button, but I have also other controls styled with the same background drawable and the problems appears there (so, it's not limited to buttons).
There are two changed style properties that these controls have in common. One is, of course, a background drawable. The other is textAppearance:
<item name="android:textAppearance">?android:attr/textAppearanceMediumInverse</item>
I came to a conclusion, that this user is using some strange theme, which alters the default value of textAppearance* styles. But I have no idea what attribute may control this "text background color" (android:background does not work, checked this just in case). Or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place and this problem is not related to textAppearance?
EDIT:
The background image is a semi-transparent PNG file.
Android version 2.3.7, Motorola Milestone. That's all I got.
EDIT 2, Fixed:
OK, the problem was at the users side, it turned out he was using CyanogenMod7 with forced 16bit trasparency. After switching that option off, everything works.

I'm working on a Nexus S and the phone theme uses Black and Orange. I started with a custom button - changing the background from #android:drawable/btn_default to my own 9 Patch image. This is fine and dandy and there are 100's of tutorials and examples of such littering Google.
The problem is I don't want to create a different style of button. I want the UI in my app to as insofar as possible to stay true to the phones own buttons and UI elements. What I want is to create a custom button which looks exactly like android:state_pressed="true" and android:state_focused="true" but instead of orange, blue.
I also want to do this for selected EditText & Spinners and the like.
Am I doomed to backwards engineer each element, guessing each pixel, one for each state and create 9 patch images of them? That's what I've done below for the blue button - as you can see, close but not exact.
Has android given these buttons out somewhere - if that was true it would take an afternoon but it wouldn't be unreasonable to create the same UI set in a different colour.
Or is the a programmatic way of saying "For this app use this theme" that I've just never heard of (Big ask).
If you look in the Android SDK folder under platforms you will see all of the different SDk levels that you have downloaded. Inside each there is a data/res/drawable folder where there are all of the images used in the UI. You can modify those and add them to your own resources. But yes, any change you want to make to the default UI you will need to implement yourself.
I recently ran into a problem with my app, On most android phones I have encountered, the UI seems to be mostly light colored. Now though, it seems phones are making a switch over to a darker UI(droid x). Now I found this to be a problem for instance with spinners. I have not set a font color on my spinner, but it gets defaulted to black on all the UI's I have tested on, making it harder to read on the darker UI's. What is the best way to handle this? Pick a neutral color? Design for each UI? Or is there a way to set the font color so the phone's UI can pick it up and set it to their default color?
I had the same problem. I have created a custom theme as a workaround.
