I would like to know how to change the loading bar, or at least change its color. I am making something entirely different from conventional games and it really annoys me that evertime DIM3 loads a map, the "standard" loading bar shows up. Besides, :mad: Red :mad: is not my favourite colour.
I read that it would be changed for 2.0, but i want to know how to use it.:D

You read right, but I didn't get to it. It's on my list, hopefully for 2.1. Seeing the traffic on this list and the number of requests means I don't get to everything and have to pick off the biggest or the most important first, but I'll try to get to it for 2.1.

What about Awnee xRacing, that has a purple loading bar.
Yes but he compiled dim3.
This is now in 2.1 ... you can set the colors, position, and size in Interface.xml.

Whoo!
Y'know, for loading bars like ghool's, you should add an option for a different loading background bitmap instead of the menu, an option for the bar to be "overlaid" by the loading background (so it can be seen thru transparent areas or totally hidden and sporting a straightforward "Loading"), and an option for concealing text. How hard is that?

It can be done, I'll work on it, though it might have to wait till after 2.1 as I have a million other things I need to get done.
At least now you can get the color scheme and size to how you want it.
