Well you are in luck, @david just released this: > [@Horizontal loading slider](https://meta.discourse.org/t/experiment-on-meta-loading-slider/177939): > > police_car_light This functionality is now part of Discourse core. Use the ‘page loading indicator’ setting to enable it. More details [below](https://meta.discourse.org/t/horizontal-loading-slider/177939/254). This theme component removes the core Discourse loading spinner, and replaces it with a loading slider at the top of the screen. This is a common approach on other sites (e.g. GitHub).
