what is the best practice regarding the Component to use to just represent the background ?

I understand the in MaterialTheme the Surface has a similar goal, but it takes by default the surfaceColor. In my case where I want the same practical use but so that the background color is always backgroundColor . From looking at usages, it seems only Scaffold actually uses this color, but internally still uses a Surface and changes the background color.

either:
1 pass a different argument to surface
Surface(color = MaterialTheme.colors.background,…
or 2 Create a composable wrapping surface:

@Composable fun BackgroundSurface(color: Color = MaterialTheme.colors.background, …) {
  Surface(color = color, …)
}

ah great, I actually had followed number 2 ! thanks again for all the support here. the experience we are having of migrating our design system to Compose has been extremely good!
