A small Glass panel with a spinner and a title over a dimmed screen, for short blocking work.

When to use

A few seconds of work that must finish before anything else, such as signing in.

Best practices

  • Appears only after a short delay, so quick work doesn’t flash it.
  • The title says what is happening: “Signing In…”.

Avoid

  • Background work. Use a progress toast.
  • Long work. Show progress and let people continue.
