This is intentional iirc, it then turns solid when the page loads

[bitboss-ca]

Why would one want a spinner that is not visible? Wouldn't the user want to know if a page is loading or not?

Closing as works for me. Looks visible and mentioned wasn't due to the color. Possible that the page is loading too quickly.
