You need to create a custom loader layout. Here are a couple of tutorials.

If your game is for mobile, you should read this:

Since it's for mobile, the entire project loads at once and you make a splash screen instead.

I did read it of course. "4. Remember the default loader is still shown while the loader layout is itself loading."

If I don't use the loader layout I see:

1. splash screen

2. the default loader (I use progress bar and logo)

3. first game layout

If I use the loader layout I see:

1. splash screen

2. construct loading screenthe default loader (I use progress bar and logo) - until about 50%

3. my loader layout

4. my first game layout

So I see the default loader anyway. And I don't want it with black background

I don't think there is a way to change the backgrd color of the default loader.

but I would suggest using the default "Progress Bar & Logo". Then just change the logo to your own logo:

In the Projects Window, open the Files>Icons folder. Double click loading-logo.png (it will bring up the deafult C2 image editor and open your own image.) The default cyan blue progress bar will be resized to the width of your icon.

That's what I did, 10x
