Customizing the Loading Spinner Icon (Make it more visible)
Hi,
I've been looking online, but there doesn't seem to be much on this topic. Is there a way to customize the loading "spinner" icon (i.e. make it bigger, change the color, change its positioning), in order to make it clear that a visualization is loading and that a user is not simply looking at an empty report page?
My report theme has dark headers and so it makes it very hard to see the loading icon (see screenshot below).
Thanks!

This is a MAJOR defect with PowerBI. If the user has to sit there waiting, they should be able to see that the system is still working on the problem.
May sound cheesy, but this is the whole reason I do not use directquery in SSAS models. I need to have lighning fast load times otherwise people get confused, BECAUSE THE SPINNER IS TOO HARD TO SEE!
7 years later, still the same... but yay AI
Replying to boost an issue that is over 6 years old and the second biggest issue I have behind dashboard latency
It is now 7 years, 2026 now AI revolution era but we still can not make Loading icon bigger.
How hard could it possibly be to make it larger, and center in the visual. It really makes you question if the people developing this product ever do product testing with focus groups let alone use the tool themselves.
Here's a link to an 'Idea' that's been around for a couple years:

we found a workaround which was to add 25pt padding around the worksheet.
Happy 7th Birthday to this thread! Still not fixed 😃 🎈🎈🎈🎈
