The problem is that I want to show the spinner page only when the page loading takes long time (not by default), as HIG suggests: https://developer.gnome.org/hig/stable/progress-spinners.html.en So, > alternatively, you can place the whole sidebar + stack into another > stack, and have a separate page with the spinner inside that. the nested stack / overlay approaches sound the best fit for my use-case. Perhaps there could be a specialized widget which supports this pattern, if the use-case is common?
