Can't Change/Remove the Original Boot Splash

Godot Version

v4.5.stable.official [876b29033]

Question

I tried to create a custom loading screen. I’ve create a preload.tscn and set it as the Main Scene at the Project Settings.

In the Project Settings > Boot Splash I also uncheck all (Show Image, Fullsize,Use Filter - I think the last one is not important anyway), not using any image, and set the Minimum Display Time as 0.

This is the preload.gd script I use:

extends Control

@onready var progress_bar = $ProgressBar

var progress = []

func _ready():
	ResourceLoader.load_threaded_request("res://scene/main_scene.tscn")

func _process(_delta):
	var status = ResourceLoader.load_threaded_get_status("res://scene/main_scene.tscn", progress)
	
	match status:
		ResourceLoader.THREAD_LOAD_IN_PROGRESS:
			var pct = progress[0] * 100
			progress_bar.value = pct
		ResourceLoader.THREAD_LOAD_LOADED:
			var scene = ResourceLoader.load_threaded_get("res://scene/main_scene.tscn")
			get_tree().change_scene_to_packed(scene)

when I run the current scene (preload), I still get a short time of grey background, and a blink of the preload (because it loads really fast), then proceed to the main scene.

But when I deploy it on the web (I export it as HTML) and tried to see how it works, it shows the grey rectangle and the loading bar (the godot logo are missing because I uncheck it obviously), but then it skipped the preload scene (or maybe it just blinking because it really fast), then proceed to the main scene.

Screenshot of the HTML exported game (grey box and the loading bar still exist)

How to fully skip the original godot boot splash, can it be done, or am i missing something?

You can’t skip it. You can modify it. So you can make it all black and have no image.

Wait, follow up question, so I can’t change the style of the loading bar (color, style, etc) too?

Nope.

If you want to do that, you need to build your own version of Godot in C++ and change it there.

However, if you just load your splash screens and/or a scene loader, you can then load the main version of your game using a custom loading screen.

To see an example of that, you can check out my game Skele-Tom. (The loading screen goes fast when you load a level.)
