Summary: public Blending semitransparent pixels against their background is fairly a fairly expensive operation on mobile GPUs. To reduce blending, React Native has a system called "background color propagation", where the background color of parent views is automatically inherited by child views unless explicitly overridden. This means that translucent pixels can be blended directly against a known background color, avoiding the need to do this dynamically on the GPU. In practice, this is only useful for views that do their own drawing, which is basically just `<Image/>` and `<Text/>` components, and for image components it only really matters when the image has an alpha component. The automatic background propagation is a bit of a hack, and often does the wrong thing - for example if a view overflows its bounds, or if it overlaps a sibling, the background color will often be incorrect and need to be manually disabled. Because the only place that it provides a significant performance benefit is for text, this diff disables the behavior for everything except `<Text/>` nodes. It might still be useful for `<Image/>` nodes too, but looking through the examples in UIExplorer, the number of places where it does the wrong thing for images outnumbers the cases where it provides significant reduction in blending. Note that this diff does not prevent you from eliminating blending on image components by manually setting an opaque background color, nor does it stop you from disabling color propagation on text components by manually setting a transparent background.

UIExplorer
The UIExplorer is a sample app that showcases React Native views and modules.
Running this app
Before running the app, make sure you ran:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install
Running on iOS
Mac OS and Xcode are required.
- Open
Examples/UIExplorer/UIExplorer.xcodeprojin Xcode - Hit the Run button
See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.
Running on Android
You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.
Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).
cd react-native
./gradlew :Examples:UIExplorer:android:app:installDebug
./packager/packager.sh
Note: Building for the first time can take a while.
Open the UIExplorer app in your emulator.
See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.
Built from source
Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.
This is different from apps created using react-native init which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json file (and build.gradle for Android apps).
