Make Loading Spinner more visible

Hi,


Please make the Power BI visuals Loading Spinner Icon customizable, or just make it more visible.


Now it is unuseable...


Thanks

  • The spinner is total invisible when you develop a Power BI in "dark mode" style! There is no sign visible when the data is loading - that is business critical for many, please fix this, make the color of the spinner an option!

  • I am having the same problem in my "darkmode" Power BI Dashboard. It is nearly impossible to spot the spinner.
  • It's so small and on top left that users can barely see! Also in powerBI JS client when filters change then the promise resolves after sending request to change filters instead of after finishing updating on the report. So, there is a bit of time in where users are not informed that anything is being loaded - the loading spinner cannot be controlled and is barely visible in dark mode. In other cases I just use own custom loading spinner based on promises.

    It's so small, The purpose of the spinner is to let me know that the data I am seeing is not the data I've asked for. This is an important information. Give us option to: - partialy ot totaly mask the visualisation until it is fully loaded with a configurable overlay (color and transparency) - select a custom gif for the spinner
  • Ideally the spinner should be upgraded to allow for the following: 1. Blur the visual while it is loading. 2. Change the position, size and color of the spinner. Having the above options would allow us to make it more prominent. I would personally put it in the center of the visual, with the visual blurred, triple its current size and give it a high contrast color (red in my company).
  • The current loading spinner is difficult to see when using dark mode or dark-themed visuals. This is very confusing for users who don't realize a table / visual is still loading while others on the tab have completed e.g a dynamic label shows immediately but the table may still be loading and showing old data. This can be very misleading!  As a minimum, please enhance the spinner by allowing customization of its size and color.

  • Please sirs, maybe we have basic things like indication that visuals are loading? Please stop working on broken AI features. Please.
