It would be great to have a property for all visuals wherein you could specify your own "loading" or "refresh" indicator GIF and more importantly an additional checkbox property to give the user the ability to cover the entire visual's width and height with a custom or default dots animation GIF that has a near opaque background. This way, the report consumer very clearly knows it when that visual is being refreshed or loaded. The problem right now I feel is that the dots animation at the top left of every report visual is very small and not easily noticed especially if you have a lot of charts, slicers and other items on your report that are close to each other with customized titles and backgrounds for report visuals.

RE: Property to change top left loading/refresh indicator
Since the Python Visualization take more time to load, and the loading indicator is so small, all our user even can't realize the visualization is still loading, they just think of the report is broken.
It would be better to have a design option to specify custom indicator icon/animation to solve this problem.

Same here, our users need a clear indicator showing the reports are being computed when filter selections are changed.
RE: Property to change top left loading/refresh indicator
With the automatic page refresh set to 1 second, having the tile loading animation is an eyesore. Could the team take a look at giving us better options? Or can this be controlled in custom visuals at least?
RE: Property to change top left loading/refresh indicator
same here. I need it quickly as user keep complaining about it.
RE: Property to change top left loading/refresh indicator
Sometimes is impossible to see the report load icon.
We need to customize it, or at least change the size and colors.
Algunas veces es imposible ver el icono de carga del informe.
Necesitamos poder customizarlo o al menos cambiar el tamaño y colores.

100% agree to this feature! As I have a dark theme for our business it makes it almost impossible to see correctly. This has caused confusion for my customers.
RE: Property to change top left loading/refresh indicator
Please can we have this feature? On a dark theme with many small items, the loading indicator is almost invisible.

Por favor necesitamos esta funcionalidad
RE: Property to change top left loading/refresh indicator
It is very difficult the current progress loading icon is so tiny. It is good to have page level loading icon to show once data set\ tables are loaded. This is very useful feature.
RE: Property to change top left loading/refresh indicator
PowerBI is quickly becoming the preferred tool to use for reporting in our company. A very common complaint from users is that it is difficult to see if a visual is still being updated. The indicator is very faint in the upper corner, frequently users are mistaking that all values displayed are refreshed but in many cases the data is still loading. It is very confusing for the users. At the very least there should be enhancements made to the indicator to display something that is easier to see/identify.
