All widgets have default.png in Xwidget, but it is very troublesome because it is displayed at the widget activation.
In case of clock or weather widgets, the different time or weather are displayed in s second!
So I hope the widget developers to put the transparent image for the default.png to avoid this state.

you can delete them.

i think showing something on desktop is better than nothing while loading widget.

i think having a state indicator for widgets are needed to prevent confusion.
most of the time i get confused between default image and real information.

state indicator can be like this:
Loading...
busy...
or an animation

or there could be some text added to default image to prevent confusion.

The creator can design the default or loading image, why not just replace the images or text with the ones you want to see during loading, use a transparent.png if you like, then in Designer click "default image" to save it.
Put the images back the way you want and save the widget.

but better to have an automatic way to do this.
since most of the time it makes confusion.

it can be done by one of these:
1. just an extra button to make a water marked default image.
or
2. an option in settings of xwidget to show watermark while loading.

Guys the things are simple:
For the people who don't want an image for the "default.image", when start to create a new widget, delete the default txt component and then press the "Automatically generated" button.
or
In case that you have added pngs,txt etc in the designer, uncheck the "Show in Default image" under Attributes->General tab for these components.

When create a widget,please auto make a default image for widget with NO date loaded , or add loading text.
If you do not want some control display in default image,just uncheck the property

Image

Image


Or Add loading Text:
