UI question: How to display a blocking "loading / preparation" screens if device is in book mode
Hi team,
I Just wanna ask you how to "design" a full-width, user interaction blocking loading / preparation view for dual screen devices?
For single screen devices, it is quite simple, but what should I do on a second screen?
Should I present the loading view animation on e.g. the left screen and the right screen stays just white? Maybe I duplicated the animation on the second screen, too?
Do you have any recommendation or "unicorn" UIs as a reference?
Thanks for you're awesome and helpful tips in the past and in the future!

tscholze Can't think of any specific similar loading UI, but we did our demo splash screens with a similar feel: shifting to one screen and leaving the other blank (see attachment).
With an interactive element like the progress bar, I would not repeat it on the other screen. If you find the blank page unattractive, consider putting the logo there too? Other alternatives could be a washed-out photo or other branding image on the second screen to complement the logo but not distract the user too much 😉
For a tablet, you would probably just center again but on the larger screen?
