Custom processing

TheGuest

The current processing bar is fairly ugly in my opinion and I would like to pimp this a bit. The problem I have there is that I can't do it in CSS. I want to have a overlay over the data table and centered in the table I want an image showing a simple loading indicator.

Could someone point me in the direction of how I would go about doing this?

It is fairly ugly, but it's there to be customised :-). Why can't you use CSS? Setting the container to position:relative and the processing indicator to position:absolute, it should be fairly easy to put it over the table. Indeed to some extent this is already done - it just needs a bit of customisation - which I would always encourage.

The overlay is no problem, but I still don't see how I can replace the "Processing..." text with an image. How would I do that?
