Only show once loading when starting the webapp

[arshubham]

On certain websites like GitHub the events such as selecting a repo or searching shows loading icon for a few seconds till the page is loaded. Similarly it also happens on google when switching from search tab to news tab.
It is very disconnecting to see the loading bar popup again and again. It would be better if it is only shown when the initial web page is loading.

@arshubham could you test current master branch, please?

[arshubham]

Looks great. But now it has an issue that if the internet is slow we don't have a feedback that the page is loading. What you can do is add a spinner in the title bar such as in Appcenter.

[arshubham]

You can use the current icon of the application with on the left side of the App Title and change it into the spinner when the page is loading. (see Firefox)

@arshubham please test curren master branch. I've added a spinner into header bar

[arshubham]

It's great. During the initial load it shows two spinners, one in the header and one on the page. I recommend replacing the spinner on the page with App icon giving it a splash screen effect.

@arshubham can be tested

[arshubham]

Works as expected. But can we have a 64x64 icon if provided by the icon theme and only fallback if unavailable. The current icon looks a little small.
Secondly, is it possible to have transitions with GTK+ between the splash and the main webpage.

[artemanufrij]

max. size of an icon is 48x48:

do you mean like slide down?

[arshubham]

Yes, Some tansition like slide down or zoom out.

Some icon themes like Papirus provides with 64x64 icons.

@arshubham "splash screen" slide up can be tested....

[arshubham]

Looks nice, but you slow it down a little. It's too fast.

[artemanufrij]

@arshubham done

[arshubham]

It's perfect.
