At the moment I see a very bland loading screen, I noticed that discourse meta has a fancy loading splash screen. I was wondering how I can customize the loading splash screen on my own site? Thanks for any answers!

You can amend the text displayed on the screen by heading to: https://YOURSITE/admin/customize/site_texts and editing js.preloader_text The preloader SVG will have the alt text of your site title (set via Site Settings title) The actual SVG cannot be customized, and we only offer dark and light versions. There is an open feature request asking for more customizability at: [Bild] Personal branding for the splash screen Feature Discourse Splash was introduced back in July of 2022, since then, not many changes have been made or adjusted. Is there a roadmap or estimated time of arrival for the planned improvements and changes? I’ve seen quite a few posts asking for easy setting adjustments for this or even simple color changes.

If anybody could help with this and how to replace the dots, I want it to be more consistent and use the default loading spinner that would be nice :slight_smile:

Agreed, on my site it only shows text: “Loading…” and I would like to spice it up a bit..

[Bild] Introducing Discourse Splash - A visual preloader displayed while site assets load megaphoneAnnouncements The splash lives in a different CSS scope, so sadly, you won’t be able to modify the CSS via themes. That said, we do have planned improvements, and I started with this one. Once the change is live on your site, the splash dots will use the colors from your current theme. I think the point of splash screen is load it before and while every other assets. So now if you create a custom css to modify it it will only load ~after splash screen.
