# Preloader

The preloader is an animation when loading the page. This fades the often unattractive structure of the page to the viewer with a small animation. The store logo can also be integrated here in an animated way.

**Display (1)** allows you to choose to display the animation on every page or only when the home page is loaded. In addition to background and color, there is a possibility to set a **hide animation (3)** to animate the hiding of the preloader.

**Timeout (4)** specifies the time in milliseconds how long the preloader is at least visible. Otherwise, with very short loading times, the preloader may only flare up briefly.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://themedocs.zenit.design/en/styling/general/preloader.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
