Functionality: Loading screens without images

I think it would be a great feature (especially going forward with OS 6) if the WebWorks platform could have loading screens based on HTML and CSS3. I envision a small HTML page with some CSS3 animation on an object instead of creating an animated .GIF in photoshop and exporting it out. This would help out with both the size of an application as well as stop developers from jumping from their development environment to graphic software and back.

Re: Functionality: Loading screens without images

Well.. that's where the problem is :smileyhappy:

 

The reason why we have the loading screens is that we are waiting for the web engine to be available to load content and display it.

 

So there is a bit of a chicken and egg scenario that we are running into.

 

I have added an item to the candidates list where we can specify different loading screens based on screen dimensions..

 

I also updated this in your thread on the loading screen
