We are using an odd choice of background color for the "dead" regions on the screencast.

I would think maybe either black or they gray noise texture. Jakub, what do you think?

stage: Change background color to black

The stage's background color can visible on screencasts when multiple monitors
with different resolutions are in use.

Change it to from blue to black to lock better as requested by the designers.

That's the stage's background color ... this patch changes it to black 
(didn't test due to lack of second monitor right now but should work).

That last commit message line looks iffy :-)

Otherwise looks fine is the designers really want it black.

black might be creating too much contrast. A neutral grey or ideally the "system" grey noise texture would work better I think.
