To not have any of that happen.

What happens instead of that?

You got better than a screenshot. You got a video. ;)

I am also experiencing this issue. Dark backgrounds on the Pixelbook over expose the app icons on the Shelf as well as on Profile Icon on the lock screen.

This is the adaptive backlight.

I'm also experiencing this issue, and it is jarring. Definitely feels unpolished to see the whole screen flash white briefly, any time I open up a menu from desktop.
I have this issue too. The screen Flash when anything white appears on the screen...
I have this issue too. Need fix. 
The device is now almost a year old and nothing has been done to either mitigate some of the effects or to actually fix this.

How is this still an issue? Why in no one even commenting about a fix? Totally unacceptable for a 1K machine.
 See comment #3, this  issue has been merged into an issue that is not visible to users. As this issue is now closed as a duplicate you won't see much progress here. 
Still an issue for me though a bit different

For me the colors are perpetually off until I have seemingly enough white on the screen.  Opening the Shelf Position desktop menu is the best way I can replicate the isse

I am seeing this issue too, and it is driving me nuts.

The easiest way to reproduce is to open a new incognito window (which is mostly dark), and maximizing it. The color of the icons on the shelf end up all washed up.

Could we get an official word from someone? Duplicating this issue to a private issue the public doesn't have access to is not great PR.

Affected system is a Pixelbook, ChromeOS 73.0.3669.0 (Official Build) dev (64-bit). No combination of compositing-related flags seem to affect the issue.
