The current load indicator (the small spinner in the upper left of reports) isn't really sufficient for users. On our larger reports, which can take a while to load, the user sees a large empty area where we'll the report will eventually render the visuals. Users aren't seeing the small spinner so they think something's wrong. If they're patient enough, they'll eventually see the report visuals load correctly.
It would be great if we had more control over the "loading" state. Ideally, we'd obscure the visuals with a "Loading. Please Wait." overlay. Something along those lines.

Report Page Loading Graphic
Typically, when a report is loading, you see each individual visual load asynchronously, which provides a frustrating user experience. Instead, the user experience could be upgraded by having an intermediate view of "report loading" with an animated refresh icon. Once all visual components are...

Power BI Loading Spinner
It would be great for report building to have the option to personalize the loading spinner, either to make it bigger or to be able to import a GIF or an image (with a loading icon), to be visible during refresh/data loading and eventually to disappear from the page after the results are shown. I...

Page loading indicator

Increase Loading icons
currently the "loading wheel" is very small and hard to see. It would be a lot better if it was larger and clearer to see that tables are adjusting based on selected filters.

Increase size & relocate the Visuals are loading... spinner icon
The Visuals are loading... spinner icon in the upper left is very difficult to see (especially when you use a dark background title bar). Increasing the size (at least 2X3 times what its is now) & placing it in the center of the visual will guarantee that users know that the visual is not current.

Grey out visuals while loading data
It's very important for users to know when data has been refreshed, following a selection they made. In August 2018 Server version, it seems that the spinner in the upper left corner of each visual only works sometimes, meaning often users have no idea whether the visual has new data or not. At t...
