Hi, I spent the last few days trying to figure out how to show a loading dialog with an animation (or text or basically anything) which would appear when I'm loading screens. I just couldn't find it anywhere.
Here's an example to demonstrate the problem:
I'm on my Home screen and press a button with:
But before the screen loads (I have a big library and am running a Raspberry Pi, so it takes about 5 seconds), everything goes black.
I would like to pop up a dialog which would overlay the Home screen and close as soon as the Library is loaded.
Is there any way to do this? Do I have to write a python script or is it a skin setting?
Thanks for your help in advance.
