As reported in the forums, there is a flash to white between all transitions in 1.1:

We do fade out the contents of a page before doing the scroll jump, but the page bg gradient (or at least bg color) should remain and cross fade between pages. It seems that we always fade to white instead of the bg of the page.

I created a very simple jsbin that illustrates the issue. It has two pages that both use theme swatch A (page A and B) and a third that uses swatch E (page c).

I would expect that when going from A to B (both swatch A = black), that the contents of A would fade out then B would fade in, but it does seem to fade from black to white to black again. Same story when going to E.

Ideally, we'd keep the bg color in place. The bg image is harder because we will be scrolling the page so we don't want that to shift around when scrolling so a flat color is probably best.
