I searched but did not find anything about this in the forums.

I want to change the animated gif that is displayed when DNN is "busy" or loading something.
On my site, I always see this icon for a second or two when I click login, while DNN is processing.
But the same icon pops up sometimes when I'm doing various things...

It's a 50px square with rounded corners and there's an animated circle in the middle that turns.  I believe it's the standard DNN loading image.

I found a reference to '../../loading.gif' in ~/Portals/0/Default.css and the referenced gif (which is ~/images/loading.gif) is the image that I see displayed.  I replaced this gif with my own 50px animated gif (named loading.gif of course).  However, even after clearing my browser cache, I still see the original/old loading.gif image.

Is this icon cached somewhere, or do I need to clear some sort of DNN cache to get DNN to use/display my new loading.gif?

Thank You!

The image you are seeing is embeded as part of the telerik.web.ui.webresource.axd file - and as such its not possible to change the physical default image by just replacing the gif file.

However, it is in theory possible to change the css that controls how the image appears - the css class for the loader image is .raDiv.

.raDiv
{
   background-image: url('images/myLoading.gif') !important;
}

Adding this to your site skin should in theory override the default gif with your own gif throughout the site even though the default css for the telerik modules is loaded after the site skin css.

The trick here is the !important;  part of the css - this tells your web browser to ignore every other definition of .raDiv background image including the one coming from the telerik .axd file - and use your definition instead.

Place myLoading.gif in the images folder of the root path so that it is found correctly.
