1. What do you want to see in Hype?
The default loading indicator is fine, but it would be great if the Hype UI provided a simple way to either (a) replace that lozenge with a looping pinwheel GIF or (b) upload your own PNG or GIF.
3. Have you found a workaround for this problem?
I usually just use the default loading indicator. I've tried the prescribed method of creating a custom preloader, but (a) I typically use opaque backgrounds, not transparent and (b) I don't want to see the preloader after the initial load.
2. Are there examples of other apps with this feature? Or, have you seen examples of this elsewhere on the web? (Please include a URL)
Nope.
4. How high of a priority is this for you?
[ x ] Nice to Have
[ ] Important
[ ] Can't use Hype without it
Thanks for considering!
