Is there a way to turn off the little blue rectangle?

When AIM is busy retrieving data or otherwise working on something, a little blue rectangle flashes up. It is very fast but on a slow connection or slow server it is noticeable and distracting:

This would be cool, or a way to change it to something that might better fit the 'theme' of an application.

i've seen at least 3 different versions of that, depending on the Theme. Nova, for sure, has a different image.
And isn't there a checkbox on Processes that disables that status thingy?

If the "spinner" is removed, how will the user know that the system is performing an operation that needs to complete before continuing?

"If the "spinner" is removed, how will the user know that the system is performing an operation that needs to complete before continuing?"

--> The "spinner" is very welcome if the task takes longer that about 3 seconds, When it pops up for less than that, it gives the application an unnecessary "sluggish" feel and is distracting.

Add this to your Custom css file.....

Code: Select all

.k-loading,.k-loading-image{display:none;}
.k-loading-color{filter:alpha(opacity=0);opacity:0}
