Description

Currently when the server side is transferring content, scroller shows diagonal bars with an optional "Loading..." message. I would like to change this to a skeleton screen style instead of the diagonal bars while loading. This would be more in line with the design language of our website. Examples of skeleton screens can be seen by Googling "skeleton screen loading css".

Research direction

Start by locating Scroller’s server-side loading state that currently displays diagonal bars and the optional “Loading...” message; no file or test is named in the issue. Review the existing loading presentation and define completion as showing a skeleton-screen style instead while retaining the loading behavior and optional message.
