Probably the graphics reloading,  
is it on flash or is it happening multiple times?

Not a bug/behavior that is easily fixable if it is the first of the two

Always happen. I don’t know if it’s just me, so I posted it here. whenever I switch to a new theme with a different live background video, the projection window flickers (black screen). with images it flows normally, but with videos the screen flickers (black screen)

If it is what I think you are referring to it’s a known issue with VLC where it does not buffer a video but reloads it. Thus giving a short but visible black screen. I have this with my video backgrounds that I use.  
Its aggravating to be sure but I have been told by the VLC developers that there is no interest in solving the issue.
