Change loading screen background

[davidmaruscsak00]

Hello,

I am looking for a way to change the cables.gl default loading screen.

Now it has a black background, is there a way to change its color?

Thanks :)

Hi - you can use LoadingStatus OP to open a gate to another part of a patch that is super light - for example an animation or simply a background color - then as your content loads, the gate will be opened by the Loading Status op and show the animation or a background color. Once loading is finished, the gate will close and you can hide the loading screen. There is also cool things you can do with the trigger and starting/stopping animations - but hopefully this gets you started

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried it. It looks like there are two loading steps.
Now when loading the patch starts in black then after a few secs it turns to the color I set using your suggestion.

Do you know a way to affect the initial black loading screen?

here is a link to the patch:

No, its always black. I tried it embedded on a website with grey bg color.
