Hi Power BI,
I'm building a report using the Power BI Desktop app, and the spinner (indicating a data load or refresh) is circular in motion.
However, when I publish to the powerbi site, the spinner (against my wish) turns into a razor thin horizontal bar, sitting above any controls I have on the report.
I recall at one point seeing the circular spinner on the powerbi site; how do I go about changing the horizontal spinner into a circular spinner on the powerbi site?
Thanks,
Darren Batchelor
PowerBI.com has updated their visual engine to a newer design, while the PBI desktop build you are using still have the older designs, hence the difference. Going forward they will both use the horizontal loading bar to reflect the newer styles.
